Plain-English summary
GE Healthcare It is recalling 1,379 units of Centricity Enterprise Archive software, version 3.0.x. This software is used for receiving, archiving, and sending medical data and is distributed nationwide. The recall is due to a potential for data loss associated with empty path names resulting from HL-7 updates when the cache disk is almost full.
The issue occurs in an unlikely event where the cache disk is almost full (less than 100MB) and HL-7 update events are received. In this scenario, the update action fails, and an empty path name is written to the database. As a result, the medical data instance is not deleted from the storage device but is no longer referenced, causing an error when attempting to retrieve the instance.
Qualified system administrators who install, monitor, and maintain the system are the intended users. The source text does not specify specific consumer actions or contact information for resolution.
