Reason for recall
There is an intermittent software issue that could affect the systems, in which an exam video for one patient (Patient A) might be copied to another patient (Patient B). This does not occur at the time the user performs and initially reviews an exam; it is not evident until a follow-up review occurs.
Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
