Recall Details
- Company:
- Inpeco S.A.
- Reason for Recall:
- Potential for discrepant patient results due to a potential for the primary sample tube to be diluted. In certain firmware versions, in case a Clot Detection error (error code E0E0 or 13E0) is generated during the sample aspiration the current error recovery procedure dispenses 2/3 of sample volume back into the Primary Tube. Evidence from the field showed that in case of Clot Detection error, this management may lead to the dilution of the Primary Tube with the distilled water of the hydraulic circuit of the Aliquoter Module.
- Classification:
- Class I - Dangerous
Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.
- Status:
- ongoing

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.
