Reason for Recall
The values of the Internal Standard (IS) concentrations are incorrectly derived when the user builds a customized test, then set the IS column to hidden and left the column empty. This may lead to the user making incorrect conclusions using incorrect results.
Firm Action
On October 4, 2021, the firm distributed Urgent Medical Device Correction letters to affected consignees. Customers were provided with temporary actions that could be implemented for safe handling of the recalled software to prevent the reporting of incorrect results to healthcare providers resulting in incorrect conclusions:
1. Avoid setting the IS (Internal Standard) column as hidden AND leaving it empty
2. Review values in the IS Concentration column
3. Follow lab SOPs to ensure quality control
