Alinity m System. The Alinity m System is designed to automate the steps for nucleic acid testing, which includes sample processing, amplification, detection, and data reduction.

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The hazard

The firm identified the following three potential issues which may have impacted ADUs installed on distributed Alinity m Systems. 1. Systems which had their ADUs serviced may have an incorrect board value (calibration data file) referenced causing a misconfiguration of the calibration. 2. Inability of Maintenance and Diagnostics 2300 (Amp Detect Optical Calibrations) to recognize error handling and thermal hold errors during the calibration process, potentially leading to a misconfiguration of the calibration. 3. Under specific conditions during the ADU manufacturing process, an incorrect calibration may potentially have been configured.
