| Date | Aug 22, 2025 (initiated Jul 2, 2025) |
| Status | Open, Classified |
| Reason | GE HealthCare has become aware of a non-conformance to 21 CFR 1020.30 (k) in certain OEC 9800 and OEC 9900 Elite C-arm Systems. Specifically, impacted systems are missing the full layer of lead tape in the collimator covers, which will lead to a small increase in radiation exposure to the patient and/or operator. The missing lead tape is not detectable by the user. |
| Root cause | Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act |
| Action | GE HealthCare will send a customer letter providing safety instructions as an immediate mitigation, to communicate the risk of additional radiation and that the equipment should only be used by personnel properly trained and authorized in the use of ionizing radiation. A user should observe proper safety practices during equipment operation as required by the operator manual. GE HealthCare will correct all affected OEC 9800 and OEC 9900 Elite systems (28 units) by visually inspecting for the presence of lead shield tape on the collimator cover and replacing the collimator cover if it is found |
