    Description

    Reason

    While merging exams in a test instance, merges carry forward in the production system, when the middle tier is configured to the wrong IP address of the Centricity Exam Manager. When a current and historical exam are opened at the same time, the system asynchronously tries to access the operation specifying how each image should be grouped, causing random image-series grouping errors.

    Action

    GE sent an Urgent Medical Device Correction letter dated November 15, 2012. The software has been modified to correct these defects. The modified software was released and installed in user sites under GE Healthcare FMI #85196.
