What happened

GE Healthcare has recalled certain Vivid S60/S70/S60N/S70N ultrasound systems because of a software issue that can cause an operator to incorrectly select the wrong patient when the DICOM Worklist search response time is slow. When this occurs, incorrect patient information may display on the screen during the exam, and if the operator does not catch the error, ultrasound images from the intended patient will be stored under the wrong patient's records. This could potentially lead to misdiagnosis. No injuries have been reported from this issue.

The recall affects 396 systems total (67 in the US and 329 outside the US) distributed across numerous countries including the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, France, India, and others. The source document does not specify what action affected consumers should take in response to this recall.

Hazard

GE Healthcare has become aware of an issue where a patient other than the intended is incorrectly selected by the operator in situations where DICOM Worklist search response time is slow. This issue is limited to certain Vivid Ultrasound systems and can result in the incorrect patient information showing on the screen during the exam. If not detected by the operator, images from the actual (intended) patient will be stored under the incorrect patient after the exam. This issue could lead to misdiagnosis. There have been no injuries reported because of this issue.
