Event Description

Merge cardio is a system intended to be used to acquire, store, print, transfer, and archive clinical information including images, hemodynamic studies and reports, measurements (via import from dicom structured reporting, text files or optical character recognition of measurements captured on images) and cardiology signal (waveform) data.Customer reported that measurements are not populating in the report.There were 4 images that have measurements on them, however the measurements are not populating from the images from the report.Technical support determined that the sequia modalities should not send in sr files.This resulted in a lot of unmapped measurements that were proprietory measurements sent from the modality.Technical support asked for a test patient in order to map some the measurements to meet the modality.The site later reported that the modality is no longer being used.There were no reports of patient injury.(b)(4).
