Recall #Z-1078-2019 Date: December 5, 2018 Classification: Class II Status: Ongoing

Product Description

UniCel DxC 660i, 680i, 860i, and 880i SYNCHRON Access Clinical Systems, that are re-configured so that the DxI system is separated from the DxC system and the DxI instrument is then connected to an automation line. System Name/ Catalog Number: DxC 660i/ A64871, DxC 680i /A64903, DxC 860i /A64935, DxC 880i /A59102

Reason for Recall

When racks are front-loaded onto the sample presentation unit while samples from the automation line are being processed, a scheduling error within the software can cause mishandling of samples during the creation of an aliquot and lead to incorrect results being generated. Affected samples typically yield non-reproducible falsely decreased results by up to 100%, however the potential for falsely elevated results cannot be ruled out.
