Security flaw in Swedish breast cancer screening software – woman passed away

A lack of safeguard in Sectra's software led to a woman with breast cancer receiving an incorrect diagnosis. She later passed away. The software is used in 20 out of 21 regions in Sweden. It is also used in neighbouring Nordic countries. “Extremely serious,” says the Sectra CEO to Medtech Magazine.

The Swedish medical technology company Sectra issued a security notice via the Swedish Medical Products Agency regarding its breast cancer screening software. The software, named IDS7, is used in breast radiology units across Swedish regions and by a few customers in Norway and Denmark.

“In the use of the ‘IDS7 screening workflow’ in Sectra Workstation IDS7, a woman who had been reviewed by two doctors and selected for ‘Discussion’ was unintentionally marked as ‘Healthy’ in the discussion workflow without being properly assessed. The woman was later diagnosed with breast cancer and has now passed away,” the notice from Sectra states.
