What happened

GE Healthcare is recalling certain GE Optima CT520 and Optima CT540 computed tomography systems due to a defect in the Manual Film Composer feature. The issue allows for the creation of printed film images that display one patient's medical images paired with another patient's name in the footer. Additionally, when a user selects a color image for printing within the Manual Film Composer, a different patient's black and white image may appear in the preview screen instead of the selected image.

The recall affects 272 systems worldwide, including 29 units in the United States located in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia, plus numerous international locations. The recalled systems are identified by specific manufacturer lot and serial numbers. The source document does not specify a remedy or recommended action for affected consumers or facilities.
