Plain-English summary
The VERICIS Merge Cardio is an integrated cardiovascular information system used for archiving and analyzing cardiac imaging. 37 units were distributed in the United States.
Under specific, less typical workflows—particularly when users remeasure using ultrasound devices or manually edit measurement values directly in the Clinical Reporting module—the system may generate derived measurements that are inconsistent with the original primitive measurements in the final patient report.
No illnesses or injuries have been reported. Users of the affected software versions (12.0.1 and 12.0.2) who perform ultrasound remeasurements or manual measurement editing should contact Merge Healthcare for guidance.
