✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer

What happened, in plain English

Ortho Kinematics is recalling its Vertebral Motion Analyzer (VMA) software version 2.3.250 because it contained an error in radiological reports after a software fix. This could lead to inaccurate imaging results for patients.

Why it’s dangerous

The software error caused radiological reports to contain inaccuracies after a bug was corrected. This means imaging results might not reflect the patient's actual spinal motion correctly.

Who’s affected

Patients using the VMA for spinal imaging may be affected if they received reports from this software version. Healthcare providers using the device are most at risk of inaccurate results.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for the VMA software version 2.3.1250 on the device. The product code 00868579000209 is also associated with this recall.
