Why it was recalled

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has identified a task scheduler issue with the CentraLink" Data Management System, software version 14. The issue may cause the software to stop executing commands, including uploading validated results to the LIS. The issue is related to an internal software timer that overflows after 24 days. Automated rules triggered by task schedulers or by actions in the CentraLink user interface may also be affected. As each customer configuration is unique, in addition to the delay in uploading of validated results, the specific consequences of discontinued command execution will vary.
