- An URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION letter was sent to all medical users on 9/28/2015 regarding Centricity PACS-IW with Universal Viewer and Centricity Universal Viewer- Inaccurate distance measurements with magnified projection X-ray images. GE Healthcare explains that for all projection X-rays, GE Healthcare recommends that the user perform the necessary measurements on the standard contact images, and not rely on measurements made on the magnified views unless the measurements have been independently verified for each X-Ray machine installed or manually calibrated using a radio-opaque fiducial of a known size. Attention should be given to prior cases acquired before the application of the safety instructions given in this communication as they may be affected by the safety issue. GE Healthcare will correct all affected systems by providing a software update at no cost to the customer. GE Healthcare advises customers if they have any questions or concerns regarding the notification, to please contact GE Healthcare Service at 1-800-437-1171 or their local Service Representative.
