The letter described the affected products; the problem; and the user instructions, which state that the hospital should establish emergency workflow procedures to ensure patient safety should a component stop operating during a patient examination. Facilities should verify if their system has been impacted by checking if the catalog numbers listed are referenced on the PDB panel located in the equipment room. The letter also states the GE Healthcare Resolution Plan, includes correcting the condition, and contact Information.
