The Signa HDx MR system is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce axial sagittal, coronal and oblique images, spectroscopic images, and/or spectra, dynamic images of the internal structures and organs of the entire body, including, but not limited to, head, neck, TMJ, spine, breast, heart, abdomen, pelvis, joints, prostate, blood vessels, and musculoskeletal regions of the body. The images produced by the Signa eHDx system reflect the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. These images and/or spectra when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

Reason

Possible incorrect wiring of the Uninterruptable Power Supply, which could contribute to a potential shock hazard.

Action

Consignees received a written recall notice dated 05/17/2017 notifying them of a correction to all units using an Uninterruptable Power Supply. Consignees were instructed not to unplug the unit and to continue normal use. Units with the Eaton 9130 Uninterruptable Power Supply connected to the MR operator console would receive a correction at no charge. This would involve possibly replacing the power cable. GE Representatives will be contacting consignees to arrange corrections. Any questions can be directed to GE Healthcare Service at 1-800-437-1171 or your local service representative.
