GE HealthCare has become aware that gradient coils for certain MR systems (see affected product list in this letter), under specific conditions, can produce elevated acoustic noise during scanning. As a result, acoustic levels can exceed 99dB, the limit established by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC 60601-2-33) when using hearing protection with a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 29dB, as currently required in the Operator Manual.

GE HealthCare has become aware of a potential issue on certain Revolution CT and Revolution Apex series CT systems (please see affected product details and the Appendix) that can result in coolant fluid (glycol) leaking onto the floor near the base of the gantry. The fluid is visible as it has a blue color. It is not corrosive and is not at a harmful temperature. However, there is a potential for injury if the fluid is not noticed and a person slips and/or falls.
