Product description
Discovery NM 630, dual detector free-geometry integrated nuclear imaging system. Models H3100RC, H3100RD, H2401LW. Product Usage: The GE Discovery NM 630 system is a medical tool intended for use by appropriately trained healthcare professionals to aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing of diseases and in assessment of organ function for the evaluation of diseases, trauma, abnormalities, and disorders such as, but not limited to, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and cancer.

The GE Discovery NM 630 system is a Nuclear Medicine (NM) system, which is intended to yield 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 types and imaging features designed to enhance image quality. The scanning modes include planar mode (Static, Multi-gated, Dynamic and Whole body scanning) and tomographic mode (SPECT, Gated SPECT, Whole body SPECT). The acquisition types include single and multi-isotope/ multi peak frame/list mode single-photon imaging. The imaging-enhancement features include assortment of collimators, gating by physiological signals, and real-time automatic body contouring. The GE Discovery NM 630 system may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, components and accessories. The system may be used for patients of all ages.
Reason for recall
GE is updating the Preventative Maintenance procedure and schedule, and added an additional Preventative Maintenance check for loose fasteners on the Nuclear Medicaine systems. This check is being added to prevent a portion of the system falling onto the patient during a scan due to fasteners being loose that secure the camera to the gantry.
