- Reason
- GE HealthCare has become aware that in certain Optima XR200/220/240amx systems that have had a column replacement completed, functional testing of the safety pawl may not have been performed to confirm proper assembly. If a failure of the internal counterpoise cable occurs, the Column Safety mechanism will not work, causing the arm with X-ray tube and collimator to drop downward on the column track. This could result in patient injury during an exam.
