Product Description
GE Healthcare Innova IGS 630. Biplane Cardiovascular and Interventional Imaging System. Product Usage: The angiographic X-ray systems are indicated for use for patients from newborn to geriatric in generating fluoroscopic and rotational images of human anatomy for cardiovascular, vascular and non-vascular, diagnostic and interventional procedures. Additionally, with the OR table, the angiographic X-ray systems are indicated for use in generating fluoroscopic and rotational images of human anatomy for image-guided surgical procedures. The OR table is suitable for interventional and surgical procedures. The Cathiab Frontiers solutions are indicated for use in conjunction with single plane and biplane GE angiographic X-ray systems and imaging / data medical devices used in interventional and surgical cathlab environments and cleared for commercial distribution. The Cathiab Frontiers solutions are integrated GE angiographic X-ray and imaging / data medical devices that simplify the end-to-end clinical workflow in the cathlab by implementing: 1) Communication protocols for exchanging and automatically synchronizing patient, exam, system, and image information between the angiographic X-ray systems and the imaging / data medical devices. 2) Communication protocols for the control of imaging / data medical device functions from the angiographic X-ray systems user interface. 3) Interfaces for displaying the imaging / data medical device output on the monitor display solutions of the GE angiographic X-ray systems.
Reason for Recall
GE Healthcare has recently become aware of a potential safety issue with respect to IGS 630 Imaging Systems. While performing fluoroscopy on a biplane fluoroscopy unit, there is a potential for loss of the x-ray imaging function when the user changes the size of the lateral FOV (Field of View) and releases the biplane footswitch pedal simultaneously. This could lead to a system lock up requiring
Distribution Pattern
Worldwide Distribution - US Nationwide in the states of CA, CO, FL, NV, NJ, PA, TX and the countries of CZECH REPUBLIC, FRANCE, JAPAN, REPUBLIC OF KOREA, SAUDI ARABIA, and TURKEY.

Frequently Asked Questions
Contact your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer immediately. Check whether your specific model number and lot number are included in the recall scope. For external devices, stop using the affected product and arrange a replacement. For implanted devices, do not panic — removal is typically not required unless the risk assessment clearly indicates it. Your physician will guide you based on your individual clinical situation and the FDA's recommended actions. Report any adverse effects you may have experienced to FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Class I recalls indicate a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death from the defect. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where serious consequences are remote. Class III recalls cover products not likely to cause any adverse health consequences, typically involving technical regulatory violations. The classification guides urgency — Class I recalls require immediate action, while Class III may simply involve returning a product or acknowledging a labeling change. Always read the specific recall notice for recommended patient actions.
Report problems with medical devices to the FDA through MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at FDA.gov/safety/medwatch. Healthcare facilities are required by law to report device-related serious injuries and deaths. Patients and consumers can also report voluntarily. Include the device name, manufacturer, model number, and a description of the problem and any patient outcome. Reports from patients and clinicians help the FDA identify emerging safety signals and may trigger investigations that lead to recalls of dangerous devices.
