Reason for Recall
Under certain conditions historical imaging data migrated from a legacy system may become incorrectly associated with a different patient. If this occurs, studies or images may be displayed under the wrong patient record, which could lead to misdiagnosis or a delay in patient care.
Firm Action
An URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION notification letter dated 7/31/26 was sent to customers.
Actions to be taken by Customer/User
Pending corrections from GE HealthCare, you can continue to use your systems by following the instructions below.
1. Do not perform any new inbound data (DICOM) migration projects. Please contact GE HealthCare before starting any new migration projects.
2. If using Enterprise Archive with Core Services Hub/Workflow Core Services, when reviewing or exporting prior imaging studies after migration to Enterprise Archive, verify that the study and images within the study are associated with the correct patient as follows:
At the Study level:
" Compare name, date of birth, and patient identifiers only if burned-in or embedded in the image. Do not rely on patient information in the image overlays that can be toggled on and off.
" If burned-in or embedded patient identifiers are not available, compare with prior studies based on patient anatomy, implants, or unique anatomical features.
At the Image level:
" Confirm that the images within the study do not belong to different patients based on acquisition date and time or other patient identifiers.
Please maintain any previous source systems or migration servers pending correction of this issue by GE HealthCare.
Please ensure that all potential users in your facility are made aware of this safety notification and the recommended actions above.
Please retain this document for your records.
Please complete and return the attached acknowledgement form electronically via FMI 85492 Digital Response Form or print, fill out manually, scan, and email to [email protected].
