Manufacturer Reason for Recall | Carestream Health, Inc. has issued a recall when using the CARESTREAM Client Workstation where under very specific conditions, some images from multi-slice studies such as CT and MR may not load into the viewer application due to a software problem. |
FDA Determined Cause 2 | Software design |
Action | Carestream sent an Urgent Medical Device Recall letter dated September 13, 2013, to all affected customers via Fed Ex on September 16, 2013, informing them that a software problem may have the potential to occur under certain conditions when using the CARESTREAM Client Workstation. When certain conditions are met, it appears that the child background process completes its tasks before the parent process and as a result the parent process considers its work done and terminates. In the event that a software problem does occur, the scan may not be fluent or the image numbers may not be sequential. A software patch is currently being deployed by Carestream Health. Customers were instructed that they would be contacted by a Carestream Service Engineer to coordinate the deployment. Customers with questions were instructed to call 1-866 737 2487 or they may call the Carestream Customer Care Center at 1-800-328-2910, 8AM through 8pm Eastern Standard Time.
For questions regarding this recall call 1-800-328-2910. |
