GE Healthcare has recently became aware of a potential power supply failure with the Innova 2000, 3100 and 4100 systems that may impact patient safety. A potential power supply failure inside the GE equipment cabinet could occur with no advance warning and thereby prevent x-ray generation and image processing. Should this occur, the system cannot be restarted.
