Merge Eye Care Pacs Viewer 5.2 Merge Eye Care Pacs recalled

Timeline

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

When the user has not set up any user preference on the sorting order to render the study images (OS/OD/etc.) and reports, the ECP may get an incorrect study index. If the user attempts to delete an image, ECP may then read that image as OS when it is, in fact, OD.

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.
