Action Taken
GE HealthCare will send a customer letter providing safety instructions as an immediate mitigation, to communicate the risk of additional radiation and that the equipment should only be used by personnel properly trained and authorized in the use of ionizing radiation. A user should observe proper safety practices during equipment operation as required by the operator manual. GE HealthCare will correct all affected OEC 9800 and OEC 9900 Elite systems (28 units) by visually inspecting for the presence of lead shield tape on the collimator cover and replacing the collimator cover if it is found non-compliant, at no cost to the customer.
