The software product mentioned in this medwatch report may not be, by definition, a medical device; however, cerner has chosen to file this medwatch report in order to voluntarily notify the fda of a malfunction associated with this software product.The company's filing of this medwatch report does not signify cerner's belief or understanding that medical device reports are required to be filed for products such as cerner's powerorders and plans®, nor are these products currently actively regulated by the fda.This report documents information related to an issue identified with functionality included in cerner's millennium powerorders and plans® and affects users that utilize the product to copy forward an existing iv set to create a new iv set.If the original iv set components were created in an older software release and were copied forward in a later release with a certain preference enabled (iv_favoriteordered_as_synonym), the system may not copy forward all the iv set components to the new iv set orderable item.Patient care could be adversely affected if the new iv set does not include all the intended components and is administered to a patient.Cerner has not received communication on any adverse patient events as a result of this issue.
