Baxter Healthcare is recalling certain Q-Stress cardiac stress testing systems due to potential duplicate ID risks. This may cause incorrect patient identification during medical procedures. Affected units have specific UDI/serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
There is the potential for exam files being assigned duplicate Unique Identifiers (UIDs),. If the system receiving the DICOM file (e.g., Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)) relies solely on the UID to accept exams, this could lead to a mismatch of the patients identification with their physiological data.
