GE HealthCare has recalled 35 imaging and interventional X-ray systems, including various Innova, Discovery, Interact, and Allia IGS models. The recall was initiated because certain bolts in the gantry assembly may not have had necessary adhesive material applied during manufacturing. This defect can cause the heavy X-ray tube or the detector/elevator assembly to fall unexpectedly. These systems were distributed nationwide and globally between 2023 and early 2024. Consumers should contact GE HealthCare immediately for further instructions and to schedule a service inspection.
If the bolts securing the X-ray components loosen due to the missing adhesive, the frontal gantry assembly parts could fall on a patient or healthcare provider. This poses a significant risk of serious physical injury or death during a medical procedure.
