GE Healthcare recalls Universal Viewer Workflow Manager software versions that may display incorrect patient information when launching exams via third-party applications. Affected units include specific software versions and product IDs.
When using Universal Viewer or Centricity Universal Viewer with Workflow Manager (WFM), if a third-party reporting application is used to launch exams, it could display information on a different patient than WFM and the Viewer.
GE Healthcare is recalling certain versions of their Universal Viewer Workflow Manager software. This could cause the system to show information for the wrong patient when exams are launched through third-party applications. This mismatch might lead to incorrect patient care.
