PRODUCT
Revolution XR/d system control room PC model 5117866-2 with Software collector 5115434. Recall # Z-0002-2009
REASON
GE Healthcare has recently become aware of a potential risk of observing a blank image after exposure on Revolution XR/d systems equipped with HP 8200 PC user consoles that may impact patient safety. It was reported that images acquired with off-center collimation for extremities with the position selected as Digits to front or Digits to back are displayed as blank. Investigation into this issue revealed an error in the Revolution XR/d image processing software that controls rotation of collimator coordinates. This error causes the system to display a blank image when Digits to front or Digits to back are selected for off-center collimation exams.
