• Recall Status: Terminated on September 28, 2010
• Recall Number: Z-2053-2008
• Recall Event ID: 47775
• 510(K)Number: K920950 K963980
• Product Classification: System, Image Processing, Radiological - Product Code LLZ
• Product: EasyVision RAD - Radiological Image Processor, software versions: SW R4 2V2L2, SW R4 2V2L3, SW R4 2V2L4, SW R4 2V2L5, SW R4 2V2L6, and SW R4 2V2L7. The EasyVision RAD consists of a computer with digital interfaces, one or two (optional) monitors with keyboard and mouse, and software. The viewing, analysis, processing and printing functions are sent to the EasyVision by means of PMSNet (Philips Medical Systems communication protocol). The main image source for the PCR (Philips Computed Radiography) system is the CR-Reader. Remote database access and image transfer functions are implemented using the DICOM Query/Retrieve and Storage services. The EasyVision RAD provides the following features: receives images sent to it by remote applications (e.g. workstations or imaging modalities) and stores them in a local database; allows the operator to copy images from the local database to remote databases and vice versa; allows a remote system to query the EasyVision local database and to retrieve images from it; allows the operator to view, analyze, process and print the images stored in the local database. Operator may print images stored in the database on a DICOM printer, and is able to read and write DICOM CD-R disks. The device allows processing of and access to the stored raw data so that an image can be post-processed using different image processing algorithms.
