Federal regulators have gone directly to patients with a warning that a California breast imaging center was supposed to deliver itself. The Food and Drug Administration issued a safety notification on August 28, alerting anyone who had a mammogram at the Mammography Center of Monterey on or after December 22, 2023, that there may be problems with the quality of those exams.
The reason the agency is doing the notifying is the part that matters most. On June 22, the FDA ordered the facility to contact at-risk patients and their referring providers. As of the posting of the safety notification, the agency states the facility has not complied with that order.
