Fujifilm Recalls Mammography Software Due to Potential Image Overwrite Error

Fujifilm is recalling 71 units of the Fuji Computed Radiography Mammography Suite because a software error may cause new images to overwrite previous ones in the hospital system.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a high-risk medical device used for cancer diagnosis where a software error could lead to the loss or overwriting of diagnostic images. Per the rubric, this is classified as High (3) because it is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. is recalling 71 units of the Fuji Computed Radiography Mammography Suite (FCRMS) software. This software is used with specific Fuji Computed Radiography systems to generate digital mammographic images for the screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The recall covers 68 domestic units and 3 foreign units distributed worldwide.

The recall was initiated because the acquisition workstation software may rarely 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 the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), it may overwrite the image already stored on the PACS. This issue affects software versions 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 instructions on how to resolve the issue. The source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses associated with this recall.
