GA Industries Recalls Logicon Caries Detector for Lack of FDA Approval

GA Industries is recalling the Logicon Caries Detector software because it was released without FDA approval.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is due to a documentation and regulatory compliance issue (lack of FDA approval) rather than a physical defect or reported health hazard, fitting the 'Low' severity criteria for documentation issues.

Plain-English summary

GA Industries is recalling the Logicon Caries Detector, version 5.0, for Carestream Dental. The product is a software tool used to analyze inter-proximal tooth surfaces for decay using digital radiographs.

The recall was initiated because the product was not submitted for approval to the FDA prior to its release. This regulatory non-compliance means the device was distributed without the required pre-market authorization.
