Carestream Vue PACS Software Recall for Image Loading Issues
Carestream Health is recalling Vue PACS software because specific multi-slice images may fail to load in the viewer application.
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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The specific hazard is a software defect preventing image loading, which is a functional failure rather than a direct physical injury risk, fitting the Moderate category for a precautionary software recall.
