Hazard
163 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 163 measurement error recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 10 (6%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all measurement error recalls regardless of agency”, “all listeria recalls in California”, “all airbag recalls in 2025”. The tags are extracted from each recall’s source text during the LLM rewrite step and validated against a fixed schema.
A recall can carry multiple tags — a Listeria recall might also be tagged ready-to-eat and undeclared-allergen. Use the full-text search if you want to combine hazard tags with brand or category filters.
Synapse PACS Version 7.1.000US may produce incorrect measurements when Secondary Capture 2D images lack pixel spacing information in the DICOM header. The affected software is installed in healthcare facilities worldwide, including the United States and Puerto Rico.
FUJIFILM's Synapse PACS Version 7.2.000 produces incorrect measurements in breast imaging when analyzing Secondary Capture 2D images lacking pixel spacing information. Affected healthcare facilities should discontinue use for breast imaging measurements.
B-K Medical A/S is recalling bkActiv Ultrasound System 2300 models because a measurement error could occur in the Dual Live Compare feature, potentially affecting diagnostic accuracy.
Siemens RAPIDPoint 500 measurement cartridges may produce inaccurate sodium readings, risking delayed diagnosis of dangerous electrolyte imbalances or unnecessary treatment.
SagiPlan 2.2 brachytherapy treatment planning software is recalled due to a software malfunction that may round numerical values, potentially causing inaccurate treatment measurements.
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling certain VITROS ECO2 diagnostic slides that may produce inaccurate carbon dioxide measurements, potentially leading to misdiagnosis of acid-base balance disorders.
Siemens RAPIDPOINT 500 Blood Gas System may produce falsely elevated sodium results due to drug interference from Perhexiline Maleate or Atomoxetine Hydrochloride. This could lead to missed hyponatremia or inappropriate treatment of hypernatremia.
Siemens RAPIDPOINT 500e blood gas systems may show falsely elevated sodium readings in patients taking Perhexiline Maleate or Atomoxetine, risking misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment of electrolyte imbalances.
Instrumentation Laboratory is recalling GEM Premier 3000 PAK cartridges due to a defect that can produce falsely high blood oxygen readings. The inaccuracy may prevent detection of dangerously low oxygen levels and delay necessary treatment.
The FDA is recalling GEM Premier 3000 PAK cartridges manufactured by Instrumentation Laboratory because they may incorrectly report high oxygen levels in patients with low blood oxygen, potentially delaying critical treatment.
Instrumentation Laboratory recalls GEM Premier 3000 PAK blood gas analyzer cartridges due to measurement errors in low oxygen detection. The devices may falsely indicate normal oxygen levels when levels are dangerously low, potentially delaying treatment.
Beckman Coulter recalls Access Thyroglobulin Calibrators that cause approximately 11% decrease in patient test results. The recall affects about 5,980 units distributed worldwide except the US, Canada, and China.
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling 9,860 Proboscis/Piston Assemblies for VITROS diagnostic systems manufactured April-December 2022 due to a manufacturing defect that may cause falsely elevated drug assay results and delayed patient test results.
SenTec AG recalls Membrane Changer components for the Sentec Digital Monitoring System due to a potential manufacturing defect that could affect measurement accuracy.
Landauer is recalling 147 nanoDot D2DNS radiation dosimeters worldwide due to potential non-conformance in the OSL material that may result in readings falling outside the ±5.5% accuracy specification.
Landauer is recalling nanoDot D2DNS radiation dosimeters worldwide because some units may measure radiation exposure inaccurately, potentially outside the specified +/-5.5% accuracy range. The issue involves the optical stimulated luminescence material used to detect radiation.
BeamAdjust software Version 2.3.3 generates incorrect calibration files when using TIFF or DICOM image reference data, affecting radiation measurement accuracy in OCTAVIUS Detector systems.
Landauer is recalling nanoDot radiation dosimeter kits (16,760 units distributed worldwide) because some units may measure radiation exposure outside specified accuracy tolerances, potentially affecting dose measurement accuracy.
Landauer is recalling QC nanoDot radiation dosimeters worldwide due to potential inaccuracy in radiation dose measurements. Some units may read outside the specified ±5.5% accuracy range.
Landauer recalled nanoDot C radiation dosimeters due to potential accuracy errors in the optical stimulated luminescence material. Affected units may provide dosimetry readings outside the specified tolerance range of +/-5.5%.
ACUSON Redwood 2.0 ultrasound systems may display underestimated measurement results when using an 18L6 transducer in Dual format, potentially leading to patient misdiagnosis. 796 units are affected worldwide.
Landauer is recalling 18,638 nanoDot radiation monitoring dosimeters worldwide. Some units may measure radiation exposure outside the specified ±5.5% accuracy range, potentially affecting occupational safety monitoring.
Landauer is recalling nanoDot D2DNS radiation monitoring dosimeters due to a potential defect in the OSL material. Affected devices may provide radiation exposure readings outside the specified +/-5.5% accuracy range.
Oculus Optikgeraete GMBH is recalling 173 units of the Oculus Myopia Master optical measurement device due to insufficient anti-reflective coating that may cause incorrect axial length measurements.
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics recalls 3,201 epoc BGEM BUN Test Cards due to potential for inaccurately high glucose readings in low-glucose samples.
