Keyspan High-High Speed USB to Serial Adapter Product Usage: The Reporting Software is an application which serves as middle ware between the Tosoh Automated HPLC G8 analyzer and an LIS or as a stand alone data repository for the analyzer. It is designed to store and manage the received data and make reports as necessary. The application is installed on Dell All- in-One computers that do not have serial (RS232) ports only USB ports. The G8 analyzer does not have USB ports. The Key Span Adaptor connects the serial port on the G8 to the USB port on the Dell computer. Once installed the Keyspan adapter is assigned a COM port. The default for the firmware is dynamic which randomly assigns a port for the transmission of data. The port assignment can change when the power for the analyzer or computer is shut down or the cable is physically disconnected and then reconnected. The default can be changed to geographic which allows the port assignment to be static regardless of a power outage.

The AIA-2000 bar code scanners depend on the quiet zone to help identify the bar code. The lack of an adequate quiet zone can cause the bar code scanner to confuse the bar codes with text or graphics resulting in the scanner ignoring a valid symbol. This results in an error in reading the barcode: Error Code 2220 Unable to read barcode on reagent bottle . In some cases, the quiet zone is too short and an error in barcode reading occurs. The problem is intermittent and not all vials (6 vials are available per set) have been reported to fail. The only risk to patients or users is a delay in results. The company recommends (optional) that customers pre-screen the vials to identify affected products. Customers can contact the company for reimbursement of any affected products. The company has implemented barcode checks as a temporary solution and will replace the barcode printer on the production line for products beginning with lot B*01898.
Visual inspection of the pipette tips indicated that some of the tips were not uniform in size/length which was causing error messages on the analyzers.
