  • Extra notes in the data
    Device, digital image storage, radiological - Product Code LMB
  • Reason
    There is a potential for data loss associated with empty path names resulting from hl-7 updates when the cache disk is almost full. in an unlikely event that the cache disk is almost full (<100mb) and hl-7 update events are received, the update action fails and an empty path name is written to the ea database. as a result the instance is not deleted from the storage device but no longer referenced. when trying to retrieve the instance an error is returned.
  • Action
    URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION letters dated November 16, 2012 and April 19, 2013, were sent to all affected customers.The letters requested that customers verify that all Enterprise Archive partitions have enough free space available and that the cache disk has at least 10% free space available. The letters further requested that customers whose disks are not being purged to the configured watermarks and the cache disk is almost full to contact their local GE service person. A permanent product correction (Service Pack 12 and release notes) will be provided by GE Healthcare IT.
