GE Brivo CT385 Computed Tomography (CT) Scanner Analysis Report

Device Identification

The visuals show a fully equipped Computed Tomography (CT) system. The main components of the system consist of; gantry (scanner unit), patient table, operator console (computer case, dual monitors, keyboard, mouse), and technical interface screens containing relevant license/system information.

Brand and Model

Brand: GE (General Electric)
Model: Brivo CT385
Product Type: 16 Slice CT Scanner
The brand and model information has been 100% confirmed by the GE logo on the device’s gantry, the “Brivo CT385 Series” software text on the operator screen, and the “16 SLICE GE BRIVO CT385” description in the digital image of the invoice.

Originality

Upon examination of the device’s outer casing, labels, software interface, and peripheral hardware (special GE-branded console keyboard), the product appears to be completely original. Manufacturer-standard assemblies and interface graphics are present.

Areas of Use

It is used for diagnostic imaging in radiology departments. It is suitable for bone structures, soft tissue, vascular imaging, and sectional analysis of internal organs. The existing 16-slice technology can be actively used for routine scans, trauma cases, and general radiological examinations.

Quantity Information

• 1 Gantry (Scanner Unit)
• 1 Patient Table
• 1 Operator Console Keyboard (Custom-made)
• 1 Computer Mouse
• 2 LCD Monitors
• 1 PC/Processor Case

Label and System Information (Specifications)

Technical data obtained from the system interface (Visual 3) and document image (Visual 5) are as follows:

• System Serial Number: 465841HM5 (Obtained from document)
• Tube Serial Number: 124915BIO
• Tube Model Number: 46-274891G1
• Housing Serial No: 130873BC3
• Housing Model No: 2232785-x
• Tube Installation Date: January 3, 2018 (Wed Jan 3 15:59:17 2018)
• Total Tube mAs Value: 26,016,995.5 mAs
• Last Scan Date (on Statistics Screen): February 21, 2023

General Condition

The device appears to be in used (second-hand) condition upon visual inspection. It is understood that it was photographed in an operational hospital environment either before dismantling or during active use. While no yellowing is observed on the gantry casing, there are physical wear marks on the lower parts of the patient table. The system maintains its integrity in terms of overall condition.

Physical Deformation

On the plastic housing parts of the patient table (couch) that connect to the floor, especially on the side panels, there are black scratches, stains, and abrasions due to friction. No significant tear on the cover or cushion of the patient bed could be detected from the visual, but slight opening and wear were observed in the plastic cover area at the foot end of the bed, where the paper towel roll holder mechanism is located.

Mechanical and Electronic Components

The functionality of the gantry tilt mechanism or table movement motors cannot be tested from the visual. However, the keys and knob (rotary dial) parts on the console keyboard appear to be complete. The physical integrity of the laser alignment and information display panel on the gantry is preserved.

Screen Analysis and Usage Data

System Screen 1 (Technical Data): The “Tube stats” screen is displayed. It shows that the device’s X-ray tube was installed in 2018 and has operated with approximately 26 million mAs (Milliampere-second) load to date. This data is a critical parameter indicating that the tube has reached a medium-to-high service life.

System Screen 2 (Operation): The patient registration and imaging screen is open. A patient protocol dated June 09, 2023 (with “Academic Hospital” inscription) is visible on the screen. Additionally, coronal reconstruction images are being processed. There are no pixel losses or screen malfunctions.

Battery Status

The device operates with mains electricity; no internal battery was detected in the visual. However, the use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is standard for CT devices; an external UPS unit was not captured in the visuals.

Documents

Visual 5 shows a screenshot from an e-invoice or delivery note system. The document states “16 SLICE GE BRIVO CT385 CT SCANNER WITH SERIAL NUMBER 465841HM5”, which is a document proving the legal identity and specifications of the device.

Year of Manufacture and Installation

The tube installation date of 2018 is clear on the system screen. Although the device’s own manufacturing date cannot be read from the label, it can be assumed that the system is at least pre-2018 or from 2018, based on the tube replacement/installation date.

Current Fault

No active error messages such as “System Error”, “Gantry Failure”, or “Tube Warm-up Error” were displayed on the screens. The system is in working order with “Daily Prep” and “Recon Mgmt” menus.

Potential Fault Risk

The tube mAs value of 26 million is data that needs to be carefully evaluated regarding the tube’s remaining service life (the replacement time might be approaching based on the expected life of Brivo series tubes). Furthermore, the fact that the last scan and processing dates are in 2023 suggests the possibility that the device has been stored or inactive for some time; this situation can lead to detector calibration or capacitor issues in CT devices that have not been operated for extended periods.
