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 medical device software defect that results in the transmission of incorrect patient images, which poses a risk of harm through misdiagnosis or treatment errors, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Agfa Healthcare Corp. is recalling 221 units of NX 3.0.8950 Imaging Processing Software. The recall was initiated after a customer reported that when using an NX workstation with this specific software version, selecting an affected patient or exam from closed exams initially linked and displayed the wrong image.

Although the wrong image was replaced by the correct image after a short time, the incorrect image was used for transmitting to the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). The affected software was distributed in 33 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and Canada.

Healthcare facilities should contact Agfa Healthcare for instructions on how to resolve the issue. No specific corrective action or replacement timeline is provided in the source text.
