Reason for Recall
If one or more graphs are in a table on the report, and if any of those graphs are deleted, it may lead to reports failing to save and/or marking the study as read might leave the study in an unread state or might mark the study as read but leave the report with a "Preliminary" watermark displayed.
Firm Action
The firm, SIEMENS, sent a "Customer Safety Advisory Notice" letter dated March 24, 2011 to its customers. The letter describes the product, problem and actions to be taken. The customers were instructed to place graphs in sections and not tables in the report; avoid deleting graphs from the reports in run-time and include this safety advisory notice in their operator's manual where it should remain until the service patch is applied. SIEMENS will be issuing a service patch to fix the defect. The letter states the patch will be available in the next few weeks.
