Automated Device Recall Crosschecks
When a device recall or safety notice arrives in Gmail, WebRun reads the affected device model and lot numbers, searches your HI-IQ implant and device usage log for matching items, and posts a Slack alert listing any cases where a recalled device was implanted so your team can review and follow up under clinical direction.
How do I check a device recall against my implanted patients quickly?
When a device recall notice arrives in Gmail, WebRun reads the affected model and lot ranges and searches your HI-IQ implant log for matches. It posts a Slack alert listing affected cases and any in-stock units to quarantine, flagged for clinician review, so you act fast while all patient outreach stays a human decision.
- Affected cases surface within minutes of a recall notice
- In-stock recalled units are flagged for quarantine before use
- Patient outreach stays a clinician decision, never automatic
Built for IR safety officers · interventional radiology managers · IR quality teams · device and implant coordinators

Questions, answered
Will it notify affected patients automatically?
No. WebRun identifies the matching cases and alerts your team. Any patient notification must be decided and drafted by a clinician and sent by staff. It never contacts a patient on its own, because these decisions are clinical.
Does patient information appear in the Slack alert?
No. The alert lists matching cases by case number and implant date, plus the recalled model and lot. Patient identifiers stay in HI-IQ, so the internal channel holds no protected health information.
Does it check current stock too, or only past cases?
Both. It lists past cases where a recalled device was implanted and any matching units still on the shelf in HI-IQ inventory, so affected stock can be quarantined before it is used.
