Reason for recall

There is a potential safety issue with the 8.0.2 version software of the Merge (Cedara) Mammo viewer. The Merge Mammo viewer can load and display images not in synch with the selected or highlighted images in the thumbnail navigator. This incorrect image display issue could result in an inaccurate reading on the Merge Mammo workstation. This could result in a missed intervention or mis-diagnosis.
