Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Soon after we received the information from topcon europe medical on dec.21, 2018, we determined the software described in the hospital's "adverse incident report" was imagenet 6 and started the investigation to find the bug.Investigation result; as the request and response with imagenet 6 are not synchronizing, if a data processing process is busy, then the responses can be made in random order.In such case, if a data processing process is enough busy, then a mismatch between displayed patient identification data and displayed thumbnails of patient images can be occurred.This defect bug existed in the imagenet 6 from initial release version.When i patient is selected in the patient data and if other patient is selected prior to the display of the primary patient's thumbnails is completed, then the primary patient's thumbnails are displayed with secondary patient's identification information such as name, patient's id, etc.On the monitor screen of the pc used.This defect state can occur all versions of imagenet 6 that have been released in the field.We stopped shipment of imagenet 6 from manufacturer in (b)(4), warehouse in (b)(4), topcon's subsidiaries all over the world and daughter companies of these subsidiaries on dec.28, 2018.The corrected version of the imagenet 6 will released from the manufacturer in (b)(4) on jan 16, 2018.Field safety corrective actions are still in planning.
