What this means for you
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 potential data integrity issues (missing images) rather than direct physical injury or death, and no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
GE Healthcare is recalling 569 units of the Centricity PACS-IW medical device, specifically model numbers 2052831-00X and 2049588-008. The device is used to receive, store, communicate, process, and display medical images and data, including mammograms, from various imaging sources.
The recall is due to a potential database handling error that could occur during the image acquisition process. This error may result in one or more image series being missing from an exam without any indication to the user. The source notes that while this issue is rare, it can occur with imaging studies that consist of a very small number of images per series, such as a CR Thorax exam with only one image per series.
The affected units were distributed worldwide and across the United States. No specific dates or additional distribution details are provided in the source text. Users should check their device model and serial numbers against the recall list to determine if their unit is affected.
