Fujifilm ASPIRE Cristalle Mammography Systems Recalled for Image ID Errors
Fujifilm is recalling ASPIRE Cristalle mammography systems because a software error may cause duplicate image IDs, potentially overwriting stored images in hospital systems.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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 logic error that may cause image overwriting, which is a data integrity issue rather than a direct physical injury or high-risk pathogen exposure, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.
Plain-English summary
Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. is recalling 71 units of the ASPIRE Cristalle Digital Mammography System (FDR MS-3500) and associated acquisition workstations. The recall affects 68 domestic units and 3 foreign units distributed worldwide. The affected software versions include V5.1, V5.2, V6.0, V6.1, and V7.0.
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 error is transmitted to a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), it may overwrite the image already stored on the PACS.
This issue affects facilities using the affected Fujifilm mammography systems for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The source text does not specify specific actions for consumers or patients, but the recall is intended to address the software logic error to prevent data overwriting in medical imaging archives.
