  Merge Hemo, Model RCSV2, Model/Catalog Number 99-01172-00, software versions 11.1 and 11.1.1 Product Description: The Merge Hemo, Model RCSV2 device is a hemodynamics recording computer system that monitors, measures, displays, records and stores various physiologic and blood flow parameters based on the output from one or more electrodes, transducers, or measuring devices. The system is used for documenting and monitoring patients undergoing diagnostic and interventional catheter-based procedures. The procedures can be performed in the clinical areas of invasive cardiology, interventional radiology, and cardiac electrophysiology.

  Merge Healthcare has been informed by Schiller AG (Baar, Switzerland) of an issue with the Schiller ARGUS PB-3000 Patient Data Module (PDM) where certain units trigger an error message on the Merge Hemo Client (Pressure Sensor Defective) during non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurements, specifically when the initial inflation pressure is set in the high-pressure range (>240 mmHg). The ARGUS PB-3000 is a vital signs monitoring instrument intended to be integrated into the Merge Hemo System. No other components of the Merge Hemo System are affected.

  The WinStation Retinal Imager, also known as Merge Eye Station. DCF-1024 & DCF-512 Digital Imaging System Product Usage: The WinStation Retinal Imager has the same intended use as other fundus cameras. It is specifically used to produce color or black and white images of the retina (fundus imaging) and anterior segement (slit lamp imaging), and fluorescein and ICG angiographic images in a non-invasive manner.

  Certain configurations of Merge Eye Station hardware may result in electrical output that exceeds the allowable limits for medical devices. Leakage current was found to exceed allowable limits in earth leakage current, touch current in a single fault condition (of open ground) and patient leakage current in a single fault condition (of open ground).

  Merge Eye Care PACS Viewer 5.2 Merge Eye Care PACS is a software solution for the display, management, archive, interface and integration of ophthalmic device reports, images and data. Merge Eye Care PACS is a software solution using databases for patient demographics, server and other systems of intercommunication with hospital systems via HL7 and DICOM to provide to clinicians a single image viewing and management solution of images imported from various contributing devices throughout the clinical environment. Merge Eye Care PACS provides the ability to review data from any network-connected computer, and is protected by appropriate security login which permits only authorized user access. Symphony uses 256 bit or greater encryption via secure socket layer (SSL) to assure a network environment which is secure.

  When the user has not set up any user preference on the sorting order to render the study images (OS/OD/etc.) and reports, the ECP may get an incorrect study index. If the user attempts to delete an image, ECP may then read that image as OS when it is, in fact, OD.
