FDA (Devices) recall action 94211
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 3 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 3 pages.
On ultrasound systems, when Cardiac DICOM SR feature is configured to display either minimum or maximum measured value, and multiple cardiac region measurements are made, and results are exported into the SR feature, then The SR viewer will display the LAST measured value, not min or max, which could contribute to patient condition misdiagnosis or negatively influence patient management decisions.
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
ACUSON Maple ultrasound systems display the last cardiac measurement value instead of the configured minimum or maximum, potentially causing patient misdiagnosis during cardiac assessment.
The ACUSON Redwood 1.0 Diagnostic Ultrasound System may display the last measured cardiac value instead of the minimum or maximum value as configured, potentially leading to misdiagnosis or improper patient management.
Siemens ACUSON Juniper ultrasound systems may display the wrong cardiac measurement value when configured to show minimum or maximum values, potentially leading to misdiagnosis.
