Hitachi Medical recalls 18 specific UST-2265-2 ultrasound probes due to potential miswiring in inner cables, which may cause lower peak velocity readings during diagnostic imaging. Affected units have unique serial numbers.
These 18 probes may have mis-wiring in the inner cables, causing decreased sensitivity and thus resulting in lower peak velocity readings.
Hitachi Medical is recalling 18 specific ultrasound probes (model UST-2265-2) because they may have miswiring in the inner cables. This could lead to lower peak velocity readings during diagnostic imaging, potentially affecting medical accuracy.
The probes may have miswiring in the inner cables, which can cause decreased sensitivity. This leads to lower peak velocity readings during diagnostic ultrasound imaging, potentially affecting the accuracy of medical results.
Medical professionals using the UST-2265-2 probe for diagnostic ultrasound imaging are most likely affected. Patients receiving imaging with these probes could be at risk of inaccurate results.
Check for the model number UST-2265-2 on the probe. Affected units have specific serial numbers: G3007689, G3007688, G3007687, 206H2628, 206H2629, 206H2630, 206H2620, 206H2621, 206H2622, 206H2623, 206H26224, 206H2625, 206H2626, 206H2627, 205X3897, 205X3898, 205X3899, and 205X3900.
Verify if your probe has one of the listed serial numbers: G3007689, G3007688, G3007687, 206H2628, 206H2629, 206H2630, 206H2620, 206H2621, 206H2622, 206H2623, 206H26224, 206H2625, 206H2626, 206H2627, 205X3897, 205X3898, 205X3899, or 205X3900.
The UST-2265-2 probe may have miswiring in the inner cables, which can cause decreased sensitivity and lower peak velocity readings during diagnostic ultrasound imaging.
The affected serial numbers are: G3007689, G3007688, G3007687, 206H2628, 206H2629, 206H2630, 206H2620, 206H2621, 206H2622, 206H2623, 206H26224, 206H2625, 206H2626, 206H2627, 205X3897, 205X3898, 205X3899, and 205X3900.
No, the recall does not require stopping use. The probes may cause lower readings but not immediate harm. Affected users should check the serial numbers and contact Hitachi Medical if needed.
