Action Taken
GE Healthcare sent an "Urgent Medical Device Correction" letter dated June 12, 2015, to all affected customers. The letter identified the product the problem and the action needed to be taken by the customer. Perform a visual check before and after each use for the presence of the four (4) mounting screws as shown in the pictures below. Check the secureness of these screws by hand. If these screws are present and secure, you may continue use of the system. If any of these screws are missing or can easily be turned by hand, follow the precautions below before you continue use with the monitor(s). 1. Position the monitor suspension in the most frequently used position and limit further movement as much as possible. 2. Clearly inform (e.g. through signage and verbal instructions) the users and other auxiliary personnel who may come in contact with the system to not move the monitor suspension once in position. 3. Contact your GE Healthcare representative to inform them of any loose or missing screws. For questions or concerns regarding this notification, please contact GE Healthcare Service at 1-800-437-1171 or your local Service Representative.
