| Reason/Issue |
This recall has been initiated due to an issue in iCEA which could result in unrecoverable loss of data when using tiered storage on iCEA. The issue can arise if a study has purged from tier 1 (i.e. via high water mark) and only resides in tier 2 and then the study is requested to be updated.
In a tiered storage environment older data (less frequently accessed data) is staged to a second storage tier for long term storage. This staging process frees up space on the first storage tier for newer data. In rare circumstances, where the data that exists only on the second tier needs to be accessed, a software issue could lead to data being purged from both the first and second tier resulting in data loss.
This issue may result in an archived study not being available for future viewing (i.e. as a prior study for comparison purposes, etc.). If prior studies are not available for viewing, this may lead to delay in treatment in determining the progression of the disease. |
