Recall Number Z-2332-2012
REASON
Sunquest is recalling Sunquest Laboratory versions 6.1.0125 through 6.1.0139, 6.2.1, 6.2.2, 7.0, and 7.0.1 because when the Windows-based merge application is used and the “Event merge across patients” option is used, a receiving system (for example a HIS or CoPath system) may interpret the event merge as a full patient merge. This occurs because a trigger from the Laboratory system for the event merge across patients may be formatted exactly the same as the patient-to-patient merge trigger. This may also occur if the application interfacing code has not been modified to process the event merge across patients trigger.
