X-ray Imaging Systems Have Reversed Spine Positioning Labels
Shanghai United Imaging's digital X-ray systems may display reversed spine positioning labels, potentially causing misdiagnosis and unnecessary repeat radiation exposure for patients.
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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The reversed labeling represents a significant risk-of-harm by enabling diagnostic errors that could lead to unnecessary patient radiation exposure, meeting the rubric criterion for High severity.
Plain-English summary
Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co., Ltd. is recalling 4 Digital Medical X-ray Imaging Systems (Models uDR 596i and uDR 592h) due to reversed positioning image and protocol labels for cervical spine (C-Spine) and lumbar spine (L-Spine) flexion and extension views.
The reversed labeling can cause healthcare providers to misinterpret imaging and make incorrect diagnostic decisions. Patients may then undergo unnecessary repeat radiation exposure if the initial images are incorrectly labeled and require retaking.
Affected systems were distributed nationwide, primarily in Texas. Healthcare facilities using these systems should immediately contact Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co., Ltd. or the FDA to report any issues and receive corrective updates.
