Alinity m System, REF 08N53-002, For In Vitro Diagnostic Use
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
The hazard
Abbott has identified potential performance issues for the Alinity m System software version 1.6.5: 1) In a unique scenario, the waste chute flapper was found to not open when the Systems Solution drawer was closed and locked. It was found that the software will cause the flapper door to stay in the closed position when the drawer is closed and locked if the flapper had previously been moved out of position. 2) Sample preparation drawer #1 barcode information is used instead of sample prep drawer #2 when the scanned data is not sent to the System Control Center before the next bottle barcode in sample prep drawer#2 is scanned. 3) Under a specific condition, while the system is processing tests and a new test request is made, when the level of the bulk solution is too low to process a test, the software would error stop the system and try to complete all in-process tests. An internal counter is reset which can cause reaction vessels (RVs) already present in an Amplification Detect
