Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		GE Healthcare has recently become aware of a potential risk of monitor dropping associated with the monitor suspension of the Advantx system that may impact patient safety. It has been reported that suspensions manufactured after March 8, 1995 did not have the required thread locking agent applied to the setscrew, allowing the setscrew to back out over time, which can lead to the monitor dropping
FDA Determined
Cause 2		Component change control
