Recalling firm: GE Healthcare
Product: The Centricity PACS Workstation is intended for use as a primary diagnostic and analysis tool for diagnostic images by trained healthcare professional, including radiologists, physicians, technologists, clinicians, and nurses.

The workstation interface provides the user with a means to display, manipulate, archive, print, and export images when connected wit the Centricity PACS infrastructure.
Product code: LLZ System, Image Processing, Radiological
Reason for recall: It has been identified that in a reject image workflow where multiple studies are simultaneously opened on the Centricity PACS RA1000 workstation and images are rejected from the active displayed study, images for the previously displayed study may also be rejected. The issue can occur with a previously displayed study that remains open in the background. If one or more, but not all, images in

FDA root cause: Software design
Action: An URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION letter dated April 3, 2014 was sent to all direct accounts. The letter included instruction to customers to use until the permanent fix for this issue is deployed: 1) Check to see if the DelRejImg task is active and running. a) Log into CA Tool. b) From the Navigation menu, select System Monitor. c) From the pull down menu, select Dbase Maintenance. d) Scroll to the DelRejImg task (this list is alphabetical). e) Review the Task Status. Possible statuses are IDLE or SUSPEND f) If the task status is set to SUSPEND The task is not running. g) If the task is set to IDLE, move to Step 2. 2) Check the Minimum Rejected Image Deletion Time. a) From the Navigation menu, select Sys. Configuration. b) From the pull down menu, select PACS Configuration. c) Scroll to Minimum Rejected Image Deletion Time (this list is alphabetical). d) Review the Value field. e) If the value field is a negative integer (such as the default setting of -1), the Delete Rejected Image process is NOT running and there is no patient safety hazard. If the value field is a positive integer (such as 1 or higher), the Delete Rejected Image process IS running and there is a potential patient safety hazard. 3) A GE Healthcare Service Representative will remove the DelRejImg task from the task table in the Centricity PACS database. This will prevent the DelRejImg task from running, and prevent any rejected images from being deleted. This feature is being removed entirely from the 3.2 release family of Centricity PACS and will be reinstated in a future 4.X workstation release of Centricity PACS. 4) Perform the reject image workflow with only one patient study open at a time. A future release of Centricity PACS will address the unintentional rejected image issue. Until a correction for the unintentional rejected image issue is available, a GE Healthcare service representative will remove the DelRejImg task table in the Centricity PACS database. This will remove the re

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.
