Product
Elscint Varicam; dual-head nuclear medicine gamma camera designed specifically for cardiac imaging
Why was it recalled?
GE HealthCare has become aware that certain Nuclear Medicine systems that are past the End of Guaranteed Service could have been transported or relocated without adequate detector support. This could result in excessive stress being applied to the detector mounting mechanisms, compromising their integrity. If this occurs, it can potentially result in a detector fall and lead to life-threatening bodily injury.

FDA enforcement reports do not list a consumer remedy. Check the product codes below against what you have; if it matches, stop using it and follow the instructions in the firm's or FDA's official notice, or contact the company. If you have health concerns, contact your healthcare provider.
