Medical deviceClass IIOngoing
Summary: GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS ISRAEL, FUNCTIONAL IMAGING is recalling SMV DSI, System, Tomography, Computed, Emission. Reason: GE HealthCare has become aware that certain Nuclear Medicine systems that are past the End of Guaranteed Service (herein referred to as Impacted Systems and listed in the Affected Product Details section of this letter) could have been transported or relocated without adequate detector support.
