Reason for Recall
Color Flow direction is displayed incorrectly in Lumify 1.0. The system displayed Color Flow direction does not correctly represent the annotated Color Bar or Velocity Markers. (e.g.) When the Color Bar conveys that Red is to be displayed for color flow toward the Transducer, the system displays Blue for color flow toward the Transducer. This could result in misdiagnosis in some studies.
Distribution
distributed in CA, CT, ND, NV, OR, RI, TN, and WA.
