Carestream Health is recalling Vue PACS software because a defect may prevent some CT and MR images from loading into the viewer under specific conditions.
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. The hazard involves a software defect that may prevent image loading, which is a functional issue rather than a direct physical injury or high-risk pathogen exposure, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.
