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
GE HealthCare has issued a Class II recall of certain Vivid ultrasound systems (Models E90 and E95). These systems may display incorrect patient names and demographic information on the scanner screen due to slow DICOM Worklist response times.
The affected units were distributed to healthcare facilities in Illinois, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, and Oklahoma. Seven units with specific serial numbers have been identified. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, displaying wrong patient information creates a risk of procedures being performed on unintended patients.
GE HealthCare recommends that healthcare facilities verify patient information through independent means before beginning any ultrasound procedures. Facilities with affected units should contact GE HealthCare for further guidance.
