An agfa clinical analyst performed a retro-analysis and reported the findings to agfa service and agfa product quality manager.Agfa's investigation into this occurrence of rmat customizations has revealed that this specific change had the potential to introduce clinical inaccuracies in patient reports.Specifically: original sentence of: "there is fusion of the" has been changed to: "there is aortic valve sclerosis without significant aortic valve stenosis".In this issue, the original sentence intent that there was fusion of the - the assumption is that the fusion would be of the av leaflets and that this would be included in notes or somewhere else in the report.However, the changed sentence is clinically different and does not indicate fusion whatsoever, but instead indicates the presence of av sclerosis without significant stenosis.This is not the intent of the reading physician and could lead to misdiagnosis and/or inappropriate treatment.Potential impact: if the change was made after reports had been generated with the original sentence selected, those reports prior to the change could display incorrect clinical data if viewed in rm or if used as a template for a repeat study on that pt.There has been no reported pt harm for this occurrence.A reportable correction is underway for this issue and has been reported to the fda via reference #z-2112-10.Agfa will follow the rmat post market verification work instructions to correct the sentence finding.Any further investigation for the site described in this report will be documented in the ongoing cfr part 806 reporting.(b)(6).
