Description

GE Healthcare Innova 2100 IQ Digital Fluoroscopic Imaging System (Versatile cardiac and Vascular imaging system).

Reason

User was unable to hear the Innova 2100-IQ 5-minute fluoroscopy warning signal from the Table Control TSSC interface. Inability of the user to hear the audible signal indicating the completion of any preset exposure time may lead to incorrect overall dose management, resulting in unnecessary exposure and can be a contributing factor for skin injury. The alarm can be heard in the control room.
