NCMDR Recall
Reference Number: mdprc 029 03 11 000
Date submitted: 3/7/2011
Manufacturer:GE Healthcare
Device Type:Advantage Workstation Reporting Tool, X-ray system
Description:X-ray system, computed tomography, application program software
Medical Device Identifier:All Reporting Tool versions 2.5 or earlier on Advantage Workstation
Reason of Field Safety Corrective Action:It has been discovered that when editing multiple reports of one or more patients in Reporting Tool, a special editing workflow can result in a report where some edited data from one patient/exam is saved into the report of another patient/exam. This even raises a safety issue due to a potential patients data mismatch concern.
Remedy Action:Open only one patient report at a time when editing a report in Reporting tool. GE Healthcare will correct all affected systems by providing a software upgrade at no cost to you. A GE Healthcare service representative will contact you to arrange for this correction.
