Action the firm took

A Recall notification letter titled, "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" was sent to consignees on 11/23/2020 via a parcel service. The letter instructs the consignee that they can continue to use their Revolution CT ES or Revolution CT with Apex Edition. They are asked to ensure that users review all protocols recommended by the system. It is important to confirm that the proper protocol is selected, and the patient orientation properly matches the protocol orientation picture in the Scan Settings window. If using the Intelligent Protocoling Autoselect preference, and more than one protocol is shown in the Selected Protocols window, the users are asked to carefully review these protocols to only select the appropriate one. The firm mentions that GE Healthcare will correct all affected products at no cost to the consignee. A GE Healthcare representative will contact the consignee to arrange for the correction. If the consignee has any questions, they are to contact GE Healthcare Service at 1-800-437-1171 or their local Service Representative.
