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.
The Centricity Laboratory removes free-text notes on a master panel when the user deletes the slave panel. The deletion of a slave panel will (auto slash) the corresponding test (item) results on the master panel. Additionally, the displayed and HL7 results show neither the appropriate abnormal flag value nor the reference range values, when using large_num.g >7 to report numeric results.
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.
