Summary derived from FDA notice
Reason for Recall
As stated by FDA
Certain iLab Polaris Systems which were upgraded with a previous 2.10 software version (disk batch 629774) contained a bug in which only the True Color Secondary Capture (SC) format will archive Diastolic Hyperemia-Free Ratio data as intended. If either Multi-Frame UltraSound (US) or SC Image Storage formats are used, the DFR data will not be archived and the user will not be notified of this unexpected behavior.

You can ensure your data is archived using the True Color SC format following the "Instructions to Archive DRF Data". 3. Ensure that all cases are archived to prevent data loss. Note that archived cases will be automatically deleted after six (6) months.
