Inpeco issued Urgent Medical Device Correction Letter (Recall-identifier: 3010825766 11/06/23 002 C) via email on 11/3/23. Letter states reason for recall, health risk and action to take:
Please apply the following instructions to detect the sample tubes potentially impacted by the issue (Step 1) and to manage them according to the specific occurred scenario (Step 2). If Step 1 leads to determine that the issue has not occurred, Step 2 is not to be performed.
Note: The test orders status displayed on the IUI is not overwritten neither changed in any way due to the issue: it would be possible to monitor the turn-around time of sample tubes processed by the CO8 IM in order to identify any overdue sample tube with tests still to be executed.
