GE Healthcare Recalls Centricity Universal Viewer 6.0 Software

GE Healthcare is recalling Centricity Universal Viewer 6.0 software due to a risk of displaying incorrect patient images from archives.

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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (medical imaging software) where incorrect patient data could lead to misdiagnosis or treatment errors, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

GE Healthcare, LLC is recalling Centricity Universal Viewer 6.0, a medical device software used to display medical images and data from various imaging sources. The recall involves 145 units distributed worldwide, including 87 units in the United States and 103 units outside the US.

The recall is issued because there is a possibility of viewing studies directly from the Enterprise Archive or VNA with incorrect patient images. This occurs when the updated series or study is not present in the archive, potentially leading to the display of data that does not match the intended patient.

The affected software versions include 6.0.9, 6.0SP9.01, and various other specific service pack versions listed in the recall documentation. The product was distributed to healthcare facilities in multiple US states and countries including Brazil, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Healthcare providers should verify the software version and consult the recall notice for specific corrective actions.
