Manufacturer Narrative
This mdr will be supplemented when additional information is received.This incident was communicated to siemens by (b)(6) m.D.Via email.Additional information is being collected and an investigation is in-progress.The system is not being returned, but a failure analysis can be conducted via alternate methods.Reference complaint # (b)(4).
 
Event Description
It was reported that a (b)(6) year old female patient presented with a vague palpable complaint the size of nickel in her lateral right breast.Her breast density was heterogeneously dense.The patient denied other symptoms and she was of average risk as having had several normal mammograms in the past.Her 2d/3d mammo was reported as normal and both the images taken by the tech and the subsequent spot check by the radiologist were normal.The patient was told to follow up with her physician for a short term clinical exam to recheck her complaint which was thought to be normal lumpy breast tissue by the radiologist.During peer review two weeks later i noticed an asymmetric regional focal asymmetry in the lateral breast much larger than the patient's described palpable complaint with somewhat indistinct trabecular markings without a discreet mass or distortion.The patient was invited back to the clinic to be re-imaged.Using the ge logic 9, dr.(b)(6) found a diffusely infiltrative process manifest as a regional relative decreased echogenicity in the lateral left breast corresponding to the developing regional focal asymmetry which was also much larger than the patient's description of her clinical complaint.The physical exam revealed a subtle but definite asymmetry to the texture of her lateral left breast in comparison to the lateral hemisphere of the right breast.The patient was coded as a bi-rads 4 and had an ultrasound biopsy the same day by sampling the lesion in both the epicenter of her complaint and the anterior margin of the abnormal echo texture.The pathology results were both invasive lobular carcinoma.The patient declined nac, and was staged as node negative at the time of her bilateral mastectomy.No additional information was provided.
 
Manufacturer Narrative
Evaluation results: based on the limited information obtained and an internal side by side comparison of the customer settings compared to the factory default settings, the results indicate there is no system malfunction.Because of the user dependency with ultrasound, the investigation can only evaluate the system performance.As indicated by the physician's email, there were other indications in the mammography and other imaging tests, that the breast ca was visible.This would infer that this misdiagnosis was not missed solely by ultrasound.
