Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The hazard

GE Healthcare has become aware of an issue where a patient other than the intended is incorrectly selected by the operator in situations where DICOM Worklist search response time is slow. This issue is limited to certain Vivid Ultrasound systems and can result in the incorrect patient information showing on the screen during the exam. If not detected by the operator, images from the actual (intended) patient will be stored under the incorrect patient after the exam. This issue could lead to misdiagnosis. There have been no injuries reported because of this issue.
