2 exact-submission FDA recall records matched K213938 in the 2026-09-02 openFDA snapshot. Confirm affected model, version, units, correction, and current manufacturer instructions locally. FDA recall Z-2149-2026 is Open, Classified for Revolution Ascend, computed tomography, Model Numbers 6969000-100 and 6969000-300. FDA reason: GE HealthCare has become aware of a potential security vulnerability impacting AW Server deployed via Edison Health Link (EHL) based CT Smart Subscription used in conjunction with certain Revolution Apex, Revolution Ascend, and Revolution CT systems. FDA action: An URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION notification letter dated 3/26/26 was sent to customers. Actions to be taken by Customer/User Pending corrections by GE HealthCare, you can continue to use your system by following security and cybersecurity best practices. Before the interim solution (see Product Correction section below) is applied, please follow the instructions below as identified in the respective CT system User Manuals: CAUTION: 3D or slab reconstructions provide additional supplemental information, complementing diagnosis that should be based on classical techniques. WARNING: Do not use 3D or slab views only to perform any measurements (distance, angle, region of interest, report cursor, area, volume, etc.). Always check measurement points position and refer to 2D baseline views (acquisition images or reformatted images of minimal thickness) to confirm measurements. Please ensure all potential users in your facility are made aware of this safety notification and the recommended actions. Please retain this document for your records. Please complete and return the attached acknowledgement form electronically via (https://gehealthcare-svc.my.site.com/publicForm/s/?formId=aGjUr000002jnD7) or print, fill out manually, scan and email to recall.23015@gehealthcare.com Product Correction GE HealthCare will correct all affected products at no cost to you in two steps. A GE HealthCare representative will contact you to arrange for an interim solution to deactivate AW Server authentication through the CT system on the EHL-based Smart Subscription, and later, to install a CT software update. Note: With the interim solution, all alternative authentication mechanisms (direct application launch from CT console user interface, login using users defined in AW Server... FDA recall Z-0605-2025 is Open, Classified for GE Healthcare Revolution Ascend, Model number 6969000-100; X-ray/computed tomography system. FDA reason: GE HealthCare has become aware of a potential issue on certain Discovery, Optima, Revolution series CT systems, and certain operator console upgrades that can result in rotated CT images. Particularly with helical, cine, and cardiac (if applicable) scan modes, after the first image of an exam, each subsequent image can be rotated by an increasing amount. The amount of progressive image rotation is dependent on the gantry speed and the duration of the scan. The final image in the exam can be rotated up to a maximum of ~56 degrees. The entire anatomy rotates as a whole by equal degrees, without distortion, and the anatomical positioning and z-axis of the images remains correct. Small degrees of image rotation might not be noticed. If image rotation is noticed and necessitates a rescan of the patient, the same image rotation will reoccur. FDA action: GE HealthCare issued an URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE notice to its consignees on 11/05/2024 via mailing using a traceable means. The notice explained the issue, potential safety issue, and requested the following actions be taken: " You can continue to use your system. When utilizing helical, cine, and cardiac scan modes, review the image data set for any potential rotation. When using these modes during interventional procedures or radiation therapy planning, adhere to standard clinical quality checks and workflows. If image rotation is detected, consult with the physician to determine whether a rescan is necessary or if the images need to be corrected during post-processing to ensure accurate interpretation and planning. Please ensure all potential users in your facility are made aware of this safety notification and the recommended actions." A GE HealthCare representative will contact the consignee to arrange for the correction. For questions or concerns: please contact GE HealthCare Service at 1-800-437-1171 or your local Service Representative.

• Verify deployment and data flow: The exact FDA decision material does not establish the complete deployment topology, hosting responsibility, availability, upgrade path, or service contract.
• Verify security and privacy controls: Public materials reviewed for this exact release do not establish the complete security posture. Request data-flow, identity, audit, encryption, retention, remote-access, vulnerability-management, backup, and incident-response evidence.
• Verify pricing and total cost: No public list price for the exact cleared configuration was found. Obtain a written quote separating license or hardware basis, implementation, interfaces, infrastructure, training, service, upgrades, renewal, consumables, and exit costs.
• Verify local validation and lifecycle monitoring: The exact FDA decision and checked recall snapshot do not establish a complete local postmarket monitoring protocol. Track version, population, anatomy, protocol, input quality, edits, failures, repeats, downstream effects, downtime, incidents, recalls, and updates locally.

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Exact-name and exact-submission searches in the checked 2026-09-01 indexes returned no PubMed records and no ClinicalTrials.gov records for K213938; review status is candidate_review_pending. Any candidate literature or registry record remains quarantined as product-family evidence unless exact submission and version linkage is established. The checked openFDA snapshot has 2 exact native-submission recall records. Pricing, complete security architecture, contracted deployment, exact reimbursement, and local interoperability remain unverified. Automated exact-name discovery found 0 PubMed and 0 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. Candidates require human product and version matching; zero candidates is not evidence that no studies exist. 2 FDA recall candidates were manually reviewed: 2 published and 0 rejected as a neighboring or otherwise inapplicable version. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 2 postmarket candidate records; 2 have been reviewed (2 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.

Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
