Agfa Healthcare Recalls IMPAX CV Software for Incorrect PDF Reports
Agfa Healthcare is recalling IMPAX CV software versions 7.8.x and 12.x because the Demographics Manager feature may generate incorrect PDF reports after physician signature.
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, but the source text describes a software defect resulting in incorrect PDF reports without any mention of patient injury, hospitalization, or death. This aligns with a moderate severity for a data integrity issue in a medical device.
Plain-English summary
Agfa Healthcare Corp. is recalling 19 units of the IMPAX Picture Archive and Communications System (PACS) software, specifically versions 7.8.x and 12.x. The recall involves the Demographics Manager (DM) feature, which is used to correct demographic information such as patient name, medical record number, and accession number in previously signed reports.
The recall was initiated because customers reported that the software did not produce correct PDF reports after the reports were signed by a physician, even though the reports were correct at the time of signature. This issue affects the accuracy of the final archived documents.
The affected software was distributed in the states of California, Kentucky, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington, as well as in Canada. Customers who have this software should contact Agfa Healthcare for further instructions on how to resolve the issue.
