Plain-English summary

GE Healthcare, LLC is recalling 65 units of AdvantageSim MD software, versions 7.4 through 7.6. The affected models are 5160092-2 (Version 7.4), 5160092-3 (Version 7.5), and 5160092-4 (Version 7.6). The software was distributed worldwide, including in the United States and various international locations.

The recall was initiated after a customer reported that when using AdvantageSim MD on an Advantage Workstation, image series could be incorrectly labeled if multiple series with different dates were loaded simultaneously. This mismatch in series labels for structure sets may result in an under-treatment of a tumor due to too small a coverage of the treated volume.

Healthcare facilities and users of the affected software should contact GE Healthcare for instructions on how to resolve the issue. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.
