Merge Healthcare recalls PACS software versions 7.3, 7.3.1, 8.0, and 8.0.1 due to potential issues with thumbnail display and scrolling order in mammography stacked views. Affected users should check their software version.
Potential for prior thumbnails to not display in reverse chronological order and images may not scroll in reverse chronological order when mammography stacked scrolling is enabled. Merge PACS provides image manipulation tools to enable users to view and compare images such as: linking, MPR, MIP, 3D image fusion/registration of CT, MR and PET; as well as CVR (Color Volume Rendering), measurements (linear distances, angles, areas, SUV, etc.), and annotations (for example, outline and label regions of interest, label spinal vertebrae).
Merge Healthcare is recalling specific versions of their PACS software (7.3, 7.3.1, 8.0, 8.0.1) because thumbnails might not show in reverse chronological order or images might not scroll correctly when mammography stacked scrolling is enabled. This could affect how medical images are viewed and compared during radiology work.
The software may display thumbnails out of order or prevent images from scrolling backward when mammography stacked scrolling is enabled. This could lead to incorrect image comparisons during medical imaging procedures.
Healthcare facilities using Merge PACS software versions 7.3, 7.3.1, 8.0, or 8.0.1 for medical imaging are most at risk. This includes radiology departments and clinics that use these specific software versions.
Check your Merge PACS software version. Versions 7.3, 7.3.1, 8.0, and 8.0.1 are affected. The UDI numbers are listed in the recall notice for identification.
Identify your Merge PACS version by checking the software settings or documentation.
