Merge Healthcare Recalls Cardio Software Due to STAT Study Display Issue
Merge Healthcare is recalling Merge Cardio software versions 9.0 through 10.1.2 because the study list fails to display STAT studies without a manual refresh.
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 is a software display error that may delay the visibility of STAT studies, but the source text does not report any injuries, illnesses, or deaths, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving a risk-of-harm product without reported adverse events.
