What happened

GE Healthcare has recalled 3,062 units of Infinia and Infinia Hawkeye Nuclear Medicine Systems with dual-head variable angle gamma cameras distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, and numerous other countries. The recall addresses a potential safety issue involving unintended radial detector motion that may occur during patient setup or at the end of a patient scan. This problem was observed in a single system where the detector moved to its home position and then slowly drifted inward toward the patient, triggering both visual and audio alerts on both the console and gantry.

The affected devices can be identified by specific serial numbers listed in the recall documentation. The source document does not specify what remedy consumers should take or what steps affected facility operators should follow.
