Recall details

Recalling firm
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc
Reason for recall
The firm has become aware of the potential for an unintended merge of multiple patients when using syngo.plaza version VA20 with Server Farm setup integrated to a RIS. Sporadically it can happen that certain Patient IDs in the database are deleted and sent to NULL. This can cause incorrect merging with patients that already had a NULL Patient ID.
Action taken
The firm initiated their product recall in May 2011 by issuing a "Customer Safety Advisory Notice" informing all customers of the malfunction and providing instructions on how to avoid the error. The issue will be solved with the next version release, planned for June 2011.
