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, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
GE Healthcare, LLC is recalling 92 units of Centricity PACS Foundation software, including versions 6.0 SP9, 6.0 SP9.0.1, and 6.0 SP9.0.1.5. The software is intended for the storage, reading, diagnostic review, analysis, annotation, distribution, printing, editing, and processing of digital images and data acquired from diagnostic imaging devices.
The recall is due to a defect where the updated series or study is not present in the archive. This creates a possibility that users may view studies directly from the Enterprise Archive or VNA with incorrect patient images.
The affected software was distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and in 14 other countries. Healthcare facilities and users of the software should contact GE Healthcare for further instructions on how to resolve the issue.
