Plain-English summary
Vital Images, Inc. is recalling Vitrea Enterprise Suite, Vitrea, VitreaAdvanced, VitreaCore (VitalConnect), and Vitrea fX software. The recall affects all versions prior to 6.3.3, with the exception of versions 6.1.6, 6.2.3, and 6.3. The software is a medical diagnostic system used for the processing, review, analysis, and communication of multidimensional digital images from various imaging devices.
The recall was initiated because Vital Images identified a potential error in measurements generated by the software. This error occurs specifically when images are rotated at the time of reconstruction by the scanner in non-90 degree increments of the transverse/axial plane. The affected units were distributed worldwide, including all states in the continental USA, DC, Puerto Rico, and numerous countries across multiple continents.
Healthcare facilities and users of the affected software versions should check their installed version numbers against the recall criteria. Users should contact Vital Images for instructions on how to update the software to a corrected version or take other necessary actions to mitigate the measurement errors.
