Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation has recalled Surpria 64 medical imaging software versions V3.11 and V3.22. The software may encounter error codes 00003050 or 00003052 during scanning operations, which triggers a critical diagnostic failure.

When these errors occur, the captured images cannot be reconstructed and raw data will not be displayed in the work list. As a consequence, additional scanning may be required to obtain properly reconstructed diagnostic images, thereby exposing patients to unnecessary additional radiation.

The recall affects 16 units of Surpria 64 imaging systems distributed nationwide across the United States.
