Reason for Recall
The patient tables of the affected CT systems are supported by a hydraulic cylinder and a cylinder shaft (i.e. the upper shaft) which connects the tabletop to the table frame. GE received a report of a HiSpeed LX/I system table falling abruptly due to the filure of the upper shaft. No injuries were reported.
