Product |
Centricity Enterprise Archive is a software product for receiving, archiving and sending of medical data. Qualified system administrators install, monitor and maintain the system. DICOM devices (e.g. modalities, workstations) communicate with the archive using the DICOM protocol (published by ACR-NEMA). The clinical use is limited to the interaction other systems have with the Centricity Enterprise Archive. Centricity Enterprise Archive is not intended for use in patient vicinity. The intended users for Centricity Enterprise Users service personnel and System administrators, and non clinical users. As of V4.0 XDS enabled systems can communicate with the archive using the XDS and XDS-I profiles (published by IHE). |

Manufacturer Reason for Recall |
There is a potential for data loss associated with empty path names resulting from HL-7 updates when the cache disk is almost full. In an unlikely event that the cache disk is almost full (<100MB) and HL-7 update events are received, the update action fails and an empty path name is written to the EA database. As a result the instance is not deleted from the storage device but no longer referenced. When trying to retrieve the instance an error is returned.

The letters further requested that customers whose disks are not being purged to the configured watermarks and the cache disk is almost full to contact their local GE service person. A permanent product correction (Service Pack 12 and release notes) will be provided by GE Healthcare IT.
