FDA Determined
Cause 2		 Component design/selection
Action GE Healthcare sent an "URGENT SAFETY ADVISORY NOTICE" dated October 11, 2006 to all affected customers. The letter identifies the product, problem, and actions to be taken by the customers. The letter stated that GEHC OEC Field Service Engineers would be contacting their facility to place a caution label on the articulating monitor arm of the cart and to provide a revised operators manual that will contain additional information on the safe usage of the cart. Until a GEHC Engineer had taken the actions described, they advised their consignees to exercise caution when fully extending the articulating monitor arm on the device to avoid potentially tipping over the cart. Contact the firm at 800-874-7378 for questions regarding this notice.
