Plain-English summary

Philips North America is recalling the Upgrade dStream software (Model number 782127, versions R11, R12, and R13). The recall involves one unit distributed worldwide, including the United States and numerous international locations.

The recall is due to a defect in the software's handling of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scans. When exporting these scans using the Enhanced MR DICOM format, the software includes incorrect diffusion direction data. This error prevents third-party software from correctly processing the DTI data for tractography reconstruction, such as mapping nerve fiber pathways in the brain.

No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall. Users should contact Philips North America for instructions on how to resolve the software issue.
