Action the firm took

GE Healthcare notified consignees on about 04/28/2022 via letter titled "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION." The letter outlined two safety issues and instructed customers to continue to use the device in accordance with the User Manuals, but for issue #1, do not rely on measurements displayed in the viewer. They should manually calibrate the image to create a measurement calibration reference and then perform necessary measurements. For issue #2, do not perform measurements on lossy images. In both instances, customers were requested to complete and return the acknowledgment form to Recall.85460@ge.com. A second letter was sent to customers on about 02/24/2023, to provide instructions for downloading the user manual addendum for CWeb.
