Reason for Recall
Due to a software issue within the WebApp that potentially prevents the user to overwrite the results.
Firm Action
On 06/16/2026, an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL" Letter was provided to customers informing them that, A software bug has been identified in the WebApp software which, under specific
conditions, may prevent the result suggested by PhenoMATRIX from being overwritten
by the result selected by the user. As a consequence, the result transmitted by WASPLab
to the LIS may be the result suggested by PhenoMATRIX, rather than the result selected
by the user.
Customers were informed and instructed:
In date 2026/06/15 we released a WebApp software version including the bugfix of this
issue. As a consequence, you are required to schedule with your distributor the software
update to correct the issue and, in the meanwhile, to check the results sent to LIS in
case you changed the result suggested by PhenoMATRIX.
