GE HealthCare has issued a voluntary recall for 2,138 units of its Centricity PACS radiological imaging systems, including versions V2, V3, V4, V6, and V7. The recall was initiated after a software issue was discovered where the system may stop storing medical images once it reaches its maximum limit of unique image identifiers (known as Ckeys). This defect can lead to the acquisition of partial patient studies, meaning critical diagnostic images could be missing from a medical record. Consumers and medical facilities should contact GE HealthCare for assistance with this technical issue.
If the system fails to store images, medical professionals may receive only a partial study of a patient's imaging. This could lead to a delay in diagnosis, a misdiagnosis, or the need for a patient to undergo a repeat imaging procedure due to missing data.
