Fujifilm Recalls Digital Mammography Systems Due to Image ID Error

Fujifilm is recalling 71 digital 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 data integrity (image overwriting) rather than direct physical injury or death, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.

Plain-English summary

Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. is recalling 71 units of Aspire HD Plus and Aspire HD-s digital mammography systems. The recall affects 68 domestic units and 3 foreign units distributed worldwide.

The recall is due to a potential software failure in the acquisition workstations (FDR-1000AWS, FDR-2000AWS, FDR-3000AWS, and CR-IR363AWS). 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 the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), it may overwrite the previously stored image.

The affected software versions include V5.0, V5.1, V5.2, V6.0, V6.1, and V7.0. Healthcare facilities using these systems should contact Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. for further instructions on how to resolve the issue.
