Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling two units of the Syngo.plaza Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS), Model 10863171. The recall involves a non-medical software application, the LTA Incomplete Archive Check Tool V1.0, which is intended to resolve a specific data integrity issue.
The issue occurs during the de-archiving process from Digital Long-Term Archive (Dicom LTA). It was identified that the number of de-archived images could be less than the count of the originally archived images for a given series. These issues were discovered through Siemens' Global Complaint Handling System.
The affected units were distributed to Minnesota. Siemens is releasing the check tool to eliminate this discrepancy. Users should apply the software update to ensure accurate image counts during de-archiving.
