Lot and serial numbers for all affected products exceed 10 entries per model; healthcare facilities are advised to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm whether their specific unit is included.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

Hologic initiated this voluntary field safety corrective action because the vertical travel assembly on the affected mammography systems may experience internal bolt failure over time. The vertical travel assembly uses eight internal bolts to secure the c-arm to the assembly. When one or more bolts become loose, go missing, or break, the device may exhibit shaking, vibration, or uncommanded c-arm motion during operation. Such uncontrolled movement of the c-arm during a mammography procedure presents a potential hazard to patients undergoing imaging as well as to the clinical staff operating the equipment. Health Canada has classified this recall as Type II, indicating that the use of the affected device may cause temporary adverse health consequences, and that the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

Who Is Affected?

This recall is directed at the healthcare audience — specifically hospitals, breast imaging clinics, radiology departments, and any other medical facilities in Canada currently operating Hologic Selenia Dimensions or 3Dimensions mammography systems under one of the affected model numbers. Patients who have undergone or are scheduled for mammography examinations using these systems should speak with their healthcare provider if they have concerns. The issuing company, Hologic, Inc., is headquartered at 600 Technology Drive, Newark, Delaware, United States.

What Should You Do?

  • Healthcare professionals and facility managers should immediately check whether their mammography system model number appears on the list of affected products.
