Carestream DRX-Revolution Mobile X-Ray Systems Software Patch Recall
Carestream Health is voluntarily installing a software patch on DRX-Revolution mobile X-ray systems to address reports of non-diagnostic images during normal exposure exams.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is a voluntary precautionary recall for a software defect that results in non-diagnostic images. There are no reported injuries, illnesses, or deaths, and the hazard is limited to equipment functionality rather than direct physical harm.
Plain-English summary
Carestream Health Inc. is conducting a voluntary field action to install a software patch on specific DRX-Revolution Mobile X-Ray, DRX-Mobile, and DRX Transportable Systems. The action affects systems using DirectView Version 5.5 and 5.6 console software in combination with DRX-1 Detector version 69 firmware.
The recall was initiated after Carestream received reports of non-diagnostic images occurring during exams when a Normal Exposure setting was used. This issue may affect the ability to obtain clear diagnostic images from the equipment.
The affected units were distributed nationwide to various states and the District of Columbia. Healthcare facilities using these specific models and software/firmware versions should contact Carestream Health to schedule the installation of the necessary software patch.
