SYNGO Breast Care recall: Software Issue

SYNGO Breast Care, visualization and image enhancement tools to aid radiologist in the review of digital Mammography images and tomosynthesis…

Why was SYNGO Breast Care recalled?

Software issues. Siemens is voluntarily initiating a recall after they became aware of the following system behavior: 1) At times, the view and laterality marker is overlaid by patient demographic information, thus becoming difficult to read. 2) The facility name and address are not shown per default (in the current software versions this information is displayed only when the reader chooses an appropriate image text display mode).

What should I do if I have this product?

Review the official FDA enforcement record for current instructions.
