Recall Details
- Company:
- Radiometer Medical ApS
- Reason for Recall:
- The analyzers fail on S7950 (Range +) QC measurements due to the hemolyzer cuvettes, a subcomponent of the optical system which measures ctHb and derivates. In a cuvette with light shunt, some of the received light has not been transmitted through the sample. This will lead to a perturbed and non-linear absorbance spectrum which results in measurement errors.
- Classification:
- Class I - Dangerous
Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.
- Status:
- terminated

ABL90 FLEX and ABL90 FLEX PLUS analyzers running with Radiometer Windows 10 versions RWIN10 1.0 and RWIN10 1.1 may unexpectedly freeze (the analyzer ceases to operate) during a sample measurement. The analyzer software includes a feature (watchdog) that detects a freeze and automatically restarts the software to continue operating the analyzer. However, even if a restart occurs, any sample being processed at that time will be lost, potential to lead to delay in test results.
Issue with analyzer when the pH of the calibration solution decreases during the in-use period potentially because of bacterial growth in the calibration solution bottles. This may result in a probability of reporting biased out-of-specification pH results on blood samples.
Due to potential software issue that may result in patient mix-up information.
