Reason for recall

Volcano has become aware of an incompatibility issue between Impacted Systems and hospital network scans. In specific circumstances, an impacted System will encounter unexpected data from the hospital network and be forced to reboot

FDA-determined cause: Software in the Use Environment

Action taken

The firm, Philips, sent an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE FIELD CORRECTIVE ACTION" letter dated 4/25/2016 to its customers beginning April 29, 2016 which include a technical service bulletin to explain how to assure the incompatibility issue does not affect system performance. The customers were instructed to do the following: -If you have an Impacted System but it is not connected to a network, this issue does not affect your system. Additionally, if network scans are not performed, this issue does not affect your system. -If you have an Impacted System that is connected to a network and staff performs network scans while the Impacted System is in operation, this issue does affect you and the circumstances exist for a manual reboot to occur during an active procedure. To avoid this, the following corrections must promptly be taken: 1. Disconnect your Impacted Systems from the facilities network. If you need to reconnect it while not being used in a procedure, make sure it is disconnected again before starting any procedure; OR 2. Do not permit your staff to perform network scans while the Impacted Systems are in operation. -Please complete, sign, and return the attached form indicating that you received this Field Corrective Action notification via Fax to Volcano Customer Service at (916) 638-8812 or email to CS@volcanocorp.com. If you have any questions, please call (800) 228-4728, option 5.
