Software error. Potential for incorrect results
Diagnostic Equipment
🏥 Medical Devices • 6,554 recalls
under specific settings, an issue may occur during simultaneous Sensor Cartridge and Fluid Pack change on the cobas b 123 <2> POC system and cobas b 123 <4> POC system. The issue occurs when the software function [AutoQC as follow-up] is configured to run all three levels of AutoQC only after a Fluid Pack change, but not after a Sensor Cartridge change. When both are changed simultaneously, starting with the Sensor Cartridge and followed by the Fluid Pack, the analyzer carries out only the follow-up actions associated with the Sensor Cartridge change after completing the change workflow. As a result, no follow-up AutoQC is performed and the three expected AutoQC measurements for the Fluid Pack change are not carried out. Without running quality control, there is a remote possibility that system issues would not be detected and wrong results would not be excluded on all parameters: pH, PO2, PCO2, Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, Glu, Lac, Hct, SO2, O2Hb, COHb, MetHb, HHb, and Bili.

Calibration curve activity has increased over time in the kit lots listed.
Potential risk of the Optilite lid/cover falling suddenly and causing injury when not placed in the fully open position.
A drift of the performance with the BK test (BK virus, worst case application) was observed for some silica batches of Magnetic Silica (MagSil). This is the same issue as in recall Z-2342-2016.
Optilite Freelite Lambda Free Kit Product Code: LK018.OPT, LK018.OPT.A Protein testing kit.
The Binding Site Group
Batch numbers listed are reporting Lambda Free Light Chain results >114mg/L that are on average 33% lower than other Optilite Lambda Freelite batches. Therefore users moving to this batch will see results >114mg/L giving lower results and conversely when switching to the next batch results will be seen to shift upwards.
Software error; Carestream Health Inc, received a complaint stating that when a user accidentally obtains a measurement value of 0 and corrects the value in the report, the resulting measurement unit is not displayed, i.e., centimeters or millimeters. As such, the user expects that the measurement is taken calculated in centimeters, consistent with other values in the report. In actuality, the measurement is taken in millimeters. When this updated measurement is used in an average calculation, the result appears incorrect as two measurements are interpreted as centimeters while the user corrected value is interpreted as millimeters. If the user selects a Calc Result display as Min or Max, the values are also interpreted as millimeters when centimeters were expected.
The Great Basin Staph ID/R Panel is being recalled because the S. aureus probe could potentially result in a false positive.
A software error caused the window/level to become the same in one series regardless if the image had different levels; image results have a washed-out grey appearance.
A drift of the performance with the BK test (BK virus, worst case application) was observed for some silica batches of Magnetic Silica (MagSil). This is the same issue as in recall Z-2342-2016.
