Manufacturer Narrative

The issue is in non thread safe access to a list of continuous capture uids when creating the list ( a null dataset is added to the list).Later when stress echo asks for the list, tho parser throws a null reference exception and nothing is sent to stress echo task f(an empty list) so stress echo doesn't know about continuous capture clips.The issue was fixed in a software release.

Event Description

Loss of post exercise images taken during some stress echo exams were reported.
