Recall Details
- Company:
- Inpeco S.A.
- Reason for Recall:
- The identified problem is an erroneous association between the carrier and the sample tube caused by a communication error between the firmware of the Interface Modules and the Automation software. This problem can occur only when one of these Interface Modules is put off-line after a carrier in their secondary lane is physically returned on the main track and then put back on-line when the carrier is used to transport another tube.
- Classification:
- Class I - Dangerous
Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.
- Status:
- terminated

The FlexLab X System Sample Integrity Module (SIM) includes function that determines the hemolysis, icterus, and lipemia (HIL) in blood samples. This function has not been evaluated for safety and effectiveness by the FDA, so its use may cause an increase in erroneous results or a delay in patient results.
