Recall Details
- Company:
- Radiometer America Inc
- Reason for Recall:
- RADIOMETER became aware that the regarded lot pO2 units 942-042R0971 were produced with inner solution for pCO2 membrane units. This solution is a salt solution similar to the pO2 inner solution, but also contains glycerol which can be reduced at the cathode causing a suddenly rising zero current, causing the membrane unit to fail the following Cal2 calibration.
- Classification:
- Class I - Dangerous
Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.
- Status:
- terminated

Software Security; The action is being initiated because of software security vulnerabilities with the firm's analyzer operating system, which may cause the device to shutdown or reboot resulting in delayed medical treatment.
From three incidents in Denmark and Sweden, comparison studies on patient blood samples carried out for quality assurance demonstrated that creatinine measurements as determined on analyzers could be underestimated with up to 28% as compared with measurements from COBAS. The underestimated creatinine occurs specifically, when measurements on Autocheck 6+ level 1 (also known as S7835 Autocheck module and abbreviated AC6+L1) are less than or equal to 230 micro-meter of a specified insert interval for AC6+L1 with insert limits 210 290 micro-meter. Ultimately, a lower read-out on patient samples is observed Customers are concerned about underestimation of creatinine results in patients, which are to undergo radiocontrast x-ray investigations. If these patients are not healthy, the exposure of radiocontrast agents may induce kidney insufficiency (contrast-induced nephropathy). Hazardous situation: Underestimation of the concentration of creatinine.
