Reason

While performing a fluoroscopic examination on the GE Innova systems, there is a potential of nonrecoverable loss of imaging modes with no advance warning, due to a relay failure in the power distribution box (PDB). Although no injuries have been reported due to this issue to date, there is risk of complications during the procedure as a result of imaging functionality loss.

Action

GE Healthcare did not send out customer letters. GE Healthcare completed the correction by replacing the faulty relay in all affected systems. As an effectiveness check, they have tracked all service requests for the field action to completion. These service requests recorded the repair of the affected units. Exceptions to completion of the service request were recorded as well. Records of field action completion will be retained per their processes and procedures.
