GE HealthCare has become aware of a potential issue on certain Discovery, Optima, Revolution series CT systems, and certain operator console upgrades that can result in rotated CT images. Particularly with helical, cine, and cardiac (if applicable) scan modes, after the first image of an exam, each subsequent image can be rotated by an increasing amount. The amount of progressive image rotation is dependent on the gantry speed and the duration of the scan. The final image in the exam can be rotated up to a maximum of ~56 degrees. The entire anatomy rotates as a whole by equal degrees, without distortion, and the anatomical positioning and z-axis of the images remains correct. Small degrees of image rotation might not be noticed. If image rotation is noticed and necessitates a rescan of the patient, the same image rotation will reoccur.

Ziehm Imaging, Inc., distributor, have been informed by manufacturer, Ziehm Imaging GmbH that installed devices may not fully meet the requirements of IEC 60601-2-54 and or 21 CFR 1020.32(c) with respect to wired hand switch may fail when being exposed to mechanical stress such as shocks (e.g. dropping) or impacts can irreversibly damage the switching element in the hand switch. A defective switching element may then potentially initiate unintended radiation of the connected mobile X-ray unit.

Potential that the IMT Diluent volume remaining (% remaining) does not decrease as expected on the Atellica CI Analyzer, potentially leading to the IMT Diluent being empty while still displaying that volume is remaining. In this case Sodium (Na), Potassium (K) and Chloride (Cl) test results may be falsely elevated. Quality Control materials demonstrate the same behavior.

BD confirmed that product service credentials used by some BD technical support teams to access certain BD products were accessed by an unauthorized actor. Until these product service credentials are updated, there is a risk of unauthorized access that may impact the confidentiality, integrity and/or availability of the relevant products and associated data.
