GE Healthcare recalls Centricity Universal Viewer 7.0 software versions due to study changes not saving to archives. Affected units may experience data loss if images are modified.
A software anomaly exists in the Centricity Universal Viewer study management feature in which study changes are not propagated to either the Centricity Enterprise Archive (EA) or another Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA).
GE Healthcare is recalling Centricity Universal Viewer software versions 7.0 SP0.0.4.5 and 7.0 SP0.0.5. This issue means study changes might not save to archives, risking data loss for medical imaging work.
The software has a flaw where study changes don't properly save to the Centricity Enterprise Archive or other vendor-neutral archives. This could cause medical imaging data to be lost if images are modified after the recall.
Healthcare facilities using GE's Centricity Universal Viewer software versions 7.0 SP0.0.4.5 and 7.0 SP0.0.5 are affected. Medical staff handling radiological images are most at risk of data loss.
