GE Centricity PACS Workstation Recalled for Image Grouping Errors
GE Healthcare is recalling 498 Centricity PACS Workstations due to a software defect that causes random image-series grouping errors when specific exams are opened simultaneously.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically corresponds to a moderate severity score. The defect causes image grouping errors, which is a functional software issue rather than a direct physical hazard like fire or shock, and no injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
GE Healthcare is recalling 498 units of the GE Centricity PACS Workstation, versions 3.1.1.x through 3.2.1.x. This Picture Archiving and Communication System is used by trained healthcare professionals, including radiologists, physicians, and technologists, as a primary diagnostic and analysis tool for diagnostic images.
The recall is due to a software defect that occurs when the middle tier is configured to the wrong IP address of the Centricity Exam Manager. When a current and historical exam are opened at the same time, the system asynchronously tries to access the operation specifying how each image should be grouped, resulting in random image-series grouping errors.
The affected units were distributed worldwide, including the US, Puerto Rico, Canada, and numerous countries in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Healthcare facilities using these workstations should contact GE Healthcare for instructions on how to resolve the issue.
