United Imaging CT and PET/CT Systems Recalled for Mechanical Interference

Summary

UIH Technologies LLC has recalled approximately 149 units of various United Imaging Computed Tomography (CT) and PET/CT X-ray systems, including models uCT 530, uCT 550, uCT 760, uCT 780, uCT ATLAS, uEXPLORER, uMI 550, uMI 780, and uMI Panorama 35. The recall was initiated because third-party outer covers used on the devices can become trapped between the patient table and the gantry. This can cause mechanical interference and physical obstruction during table movement while the system is in use.

Risk

If an outer cover becomes trapped, it can interfere with the movement of the patient table, potentially causing unexpected mechanical behavior or stopping the table during an imaging procedure. This could lead to patient discomfort, delays in critical medical imaging, or minor physical injury due to obstructed equipment movement.
