Product Description

Lite DM (Lite Data Manager) Software Version(s): Versions 2.0.0.19 and lower Product Model #: D00A00224D The Lite DM (Lite Data Manager) is a software application developed by HORIBA Medical intended to receive, store, and manage Startup, Patient, and Quality Control (QC) results from an ABX Micros 60 Hematology Analyzer or ABX Micros CRP 200 Hematology Analyzer. Only one instrument connection is allowed per each Lite DM workstation. The Lite DM application runs on a PC within a Windows Operating System platform. Data transmitted from the instrument to the Lite DM workstation is a Serial RS-232 unidirectional ABX Format communication. The Lite DM can act as a standalone data manager for data received from the instrument, or allow transmission of this data to a Host (LIS  Laboratory Information System or EMR  Electronic Medical Record system). Following the completion of each blood sample analysis performed on the connected HORIBA Medical hematology analyzer, results are then communicated (uni-directional) to the Lite DM workstation. Results received will display to the user in a specific color coding format indicating any normal or panic reference range violations. Results are then rejected or accepted by the user for final reporting - formatted to guidelines stipulated by CLIA. At no time are any results interpreted; only reported for review and appropriate action.

Frequently Asked Questions

A software recall means the device's embedded software or firmware has a defect that could affect its performance or safety. Many software recalls are corrected through firmware updates that can be applied without physically replacing the device. For implantable devices, the update may be delivered wirelessly during a routine clinic visit. For external devices, the manufacturer may provide updated software files or replacement units. Contact your healthcare provider to determine whether your specific device and software version are affected and what action is recommended.

Class I recalls indicate a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death from the defect. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where serious consequences are remote. Class III recalls cover products not likely to cause any adverse health consequences, typically involving technical regulatory violations. The classification guides urgency — Class I recalls require immediate action, while Class III may simply involve returning a product or acknowledging a labeling change. Always read the specific recall notice for recommended patient actions.

Report problems with medical devices to the FDA through MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at FDA.gov/safety/medwatch. Healthcare facilities are required by law to report device-related serious injuries and deaths. Patients and consumers can also report voluntarily. Include the device name, manufacturer, model number, and a description of the problem and any patient outcome. Reports from patients and clinicians help the FDA identify emerging safety signals and may trigger investigations that lead to recalls of dangerous devices.

What Should You Do?

Stop using this device if you are affected by this recall. Contact your healthcare provider and the manufacturer immediately for guidance. Report adverse events to FDA MedWatch.
