Merge pacs is a picture archiving communication system that is intended to create and display two-dimensional and three dimensional images of anatomy from a series of digitally acquired images.Pacs is designed and marketed for soft copy reading, communication, and storage of studies produced by digital modalities.On (b)(6) 2016, a customer reported that when a user exits out of study in fluency, merge pacs changes the status of the study to "read." when a study unexpectedly goes to a read status when exiting out of that study, there is a potential for delay in diagnosis due to a customer missing reading the study.However, this issue was detected by the customer and there was no reported impact to patient care.(b)(4).
