Plain-English summary
GE Healthcare has recalled its Universal Viewer Workflow Manager medical imaging software system due to a potential patient data mismatch issue.
The software may display information from a different patient than what the medical Workflow Manager and Viewer show when a third-party reporting application is used to launch imaging exams. This discrepancy could occur because the third-party application and the imaging system may show different patient records simultaneously, creating a risk of confusion about whose data is being processed.
The recall affects 57 units nationwide in the United States and internationally. The affected software versions are 7.0 SP1.1, 7.0 SP1, 7.0 SP0.0.5, and 7.0 SP0.1.0, with all product IDs containing these software versions impacted.
Facilities using affected equipment should contact GE Healthcare for information about available remediation options and software updates.
