Why the product was recalled
The ultrasound system averages the Mean Sac Diameter (MSD) and Gestational Sac Diameter (GSD) into the Estimated Date of Delivery (EDD) calculation. This may result in an incorrect EDD, which may influence patient management decisions regarding induction of labor and elective caesarean delivery, which may result in premature births.
