Reason for Recall

Java version 1.6x (JAVA 6) is not compatible with AGFA IMPAX Administration/Service Tools. Due to a Software Mismatch data can be lost.

Firm Action

Agfa Healthcare contacted all consignees on 5/14/2007 and by registered mail on 06/07/2007. The registered Urgent Field Safety Notice letters requested the accounts take the following steps immediately: 1. Turn off automatic JAVA updates to avoid this update being applied in the background. 2. Do not manually update JAVA on their station-even for other applications. 3. If JAVA 1.6 has already been applied, do not use Service/Admin Tools. They were instructed to contact their IT department or Agfa support for assistance in backing out of this version to apply the required version for the Agfa software. A Mandatory Service Bulletin will inform and assist affected account in removing JAVA 1.6 if it has been applied and turning off the automatic updates via the JAVA Plug-in Control Panel.
