Philips Lumify Diagnostic Ultrasound, Catalogue Number: 795216 Part Number: 989605449841 with 453561845331 (software version 1.0)

Quantity: 21 units in the US only

Why Was This Recalled?

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.
