Why it was recalled

A potential software failure related to the Worklist functionality has been identified on a subset of Innova 2100IQ, 3100IQ and 4100IQ systems. When using the Worklist function to import patient data to Innova, there are two scenarios that will cause the next exam to fail and the inability to recall acquired sequences.
