GE Vingmed recalls Vivid S70 ultrasound systems with model H45041SW due to potential display errors showing wrong patient names and demographics during scans.
GE HealthCare has become aware of an issue with certain Vivid ultrasound systems where, due to a slow DICOM Worklist response time, incorrect patient name and demographics can be displayed on the ultrasound scanner screen rather than the intended patient selected by the user.
GE Vingmed is recalling Vivid S70 ultrasound systems with specific model numbers because they may show incorrect patient names and demographics on the screen. This could lead to misidentification of patients during medical procedures.
The ultrasound system has a slow DICOM Worklist response time that causes it to display incorrect patient names and demographic information instead of the intended patient. This could lead to misidentification during medical procedures if the system shows the wrong patient's data.
Healthcare providers using Vivid S70 ultrasound systems with model H45041SW or serial numbers starting with 001423S70 are most at risk. Patients receiving scans on these systems may also be affected.
Check for model numbers H45041SW on Vivid S70 ultrasound systems. Serial numbers starting with 001423S70 also indicate the recalled units.
Identify the model number on your Vivid S70 ultrasound system to see if it matches H45041SW.
Check the serial number on your device; recalled units have serial numbers starting with 001423S70.
