Fujifilm Aspire HD Mammography System Recalled for Image ID Error

Fujifilm is recalling Aspire HD mammography systems because a software error may cause duplicate image IDs, potentially overwriting stored images.

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 potential data loss or overwriting of medical images, which is a significant functional defect but does not involve direct physical injury or death as described in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. is recalling 71 units of the Aspire HD Digital Mammography System (FDR MS-l000) and associated acquisition workstations. The recall affects systems using specific software versions (V5.0, V5.1, V5.2, V6.0, V6.1, and V7.0) that were distributed worldwide.

The recall is due to a potential failure in the ID number generation logic. In rare cases, the system may assign the same unique ID number to a new set of images that was already assigned to a previous set. If an image with this duplicate ID is transmitted to a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), it may overwrite the previously stored image.

The recall covers 68 domestic units and 3 foreign units. The source text does not specify instructions for consumers or healthcare providers regarding immediate actions to take.
