Product

GE Healthcare Infinia and Infinia Hawkeye Nuclear Medicine Systems. For Dual-Head Variable Angle Gamma Camera, Hawkeye Option for Dual-Head Variable Angle Gamma Camera (this includes GE Quasar Nuclear Medicine Systems). Nuclear Medicine Systems Infinia devices Product Usage: The intended use of the Quasar system is to perform general Nuclear Medicine imaging procedures for detection of radioisotope tracer uptake in the patient body, using a variety of scanning modes supported by various acquisition types and optional imaging features designed to enhance image quality in Oncology, Cardiology, Neurology and other clinical diagnostic imaging applications.

Reason

Potential safety issue related to unintended radial detector motion, which may occur during patient setup or at the end of a patient scan. This failure mode has been observed on a single system, in which the detector moved to the home position and then slowly starting drifting inward toward the patient. This generated both a visual and audio alert condition on both the console and the gantry. N
