Issue
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 may 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. Prolonged periods of exposure to elevated acoustic noise could potentially lead to hearing impairment.
