Why it was recalled

When the user has not set up any user preference on the sorting order to render the study images (OS/OD/etc.) and reports, the ECP may get an incorrect study index. If the user attempts to delete an image, ECP may then read that image as OS when it is, in fact, OD.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
