Action: Carestream sent an Urgent Medical Device Recall letter dated September 13, 2013, to all affected customers via Fed Ex on September 16, 2013, informing them that a software problem may have the potential to occur under certain conditions when using the CARESTREAM Client Workstation. When certain conditions are met, it appears that the child background process completes its tasks before the parent process and as a result the parent process considers its work done and terminates. In the event that a software problem does occur, the scan may not be fluent or the image numbers may not be sequential. A software patch is currently being deployed by Carestream Health. Customers were instructed that they would be contacted by a Carestream Service Engineer to coordinate the deployment. Customers with questions were instructed to call 1-866 737 2487 or they may call the Carestream Customer Care Center at 1-800-328-2910, 8AM through 8pm Eastern Standard Time.

About this record

Sourced from the FDA device recall database and the FDA enforcement reports, both ingested from openFDA. The recall record supplies the product, the reason and the product code; the enforcement report supplies the classification. The two datasets are exported by FDA on different days, and the date above is the older of the two, so nothing on this page is newer than it says.

MDM adds the root cause tag, derived from FDA’s own root cause text, and the cross-links to the product code, the clearances named on the record and MDM coverage. Where a recall has not been joined to an enforcement report, no classification is shown.
