Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling 59 units of the Welch Allyn Spot Vision Screener VS100 (Software version 3.2.0.1) because the display screen may unintentionally flicker. This software-related issue can cause the screen to strobe or flash during use. The device is a handheld, portable tool used by healthcare professionals to screen for vision issues in patients. Baxter initiated the recall on February 18, 2026, through notification letters to affected customers in several U.S. states and internationally.
Exposure to flickering or strobing lights can trigger photosensitive seizure activity in susceptible individuals, potentially leading to serious health complications during a vision screening.
