Field Safety Notice Centricity Universal Viewer - GE Healthcare

There is a potential that one or more images or images series may be missing from exams without a warning displayed in the viewer. Specifically, during the image acquisition process, the system uses a compression process which can have multiple threads proceeding the compression of images. A racing condition from multiple compression threads can occur in the database that will try to create a data record with the same primary key at the same time and cause one of the compression tasks to fail. This can result in the system retaining image file(s) in a temporary location and impact the completeness of acquired images in the exam. No actual patient injuries have been reported related to this issue.
