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 typed and optional imaging features designed to enhance image quality in Oncology, Cardiology, Neurology and other clinical diagnostic imaging applications. The scanning modes include planar (Static, Multi-gated, Dynamic, Whole body scanning) and tomographic (SPECT, Gated SPECT, Whole body SPECT, Camera based PET). Acquisition types include single and multi-isotope/multi-peak frame/list mode single-photon and positron imaging. Optional imaging-enhancement features include assortment of collimators, gating by physiological signals, real-time automatic body contouring, and CT-based attenuation correction and functional anatomic mapping.

Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 GE became aware of an incident at a VA Medical Center facility in the US in which a patient died due to injuries sustained while being scanned on an Infinia Hawkeye 4 Nuclear Medicine System.
FDA Determined
Cause 2		 Device Design
Action GE sent an Urgent Medical Device Correction letter dated June 17, 2013 to all affected customers. The letter identified the affected product, recommended that qualified service personnel maintain the equipment and that Preventative Maintenance procedures are executed according to labeling. Also the Safety Chapter Sections should be re-reviewed with personnel to ensure proper operation of the equipment. GE notified customers again on July 03, 2013, via Urgent Medical Device Recall letter (including confirmation of delivery for US customers) and follow-up telephone call. Customers were instructed to cease using the affected system until GE Healthcare Field Engineer can complete an inspection of the system and perform any necessary repairs at no cost. A GE Healthcare representative will contact the hospitals to arrange for the inspection.
