SALT LAKE CITY—GE Healthcare's surgery division said it has resumed operations after fulfilling stipulations in a January 2007 Food and Drug Administration consent decree.

Lifting the decree allows the business to begin selling the OEC 9900 Elite C-arm, a fluoroscopy machine that uses X-rays to obtain an image of a patient's insides.

The Salt Lake City-based business, a division of General Electric Co., said it expects to ship 300 of the units in the next 10 days.

GE shares fell 18 cents to $33.16 in midday trading.
