Aptio Automation Storage and Retrieval Module (SRM)
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
The hazard
A firmware error may lead to an incorrect association of test result(s) to a sample ID and therefore to an incorrect patient result. The mis-association of test results, or a delay in testing, may occur when all the conditions listed below occur within a few milliseconds timeframe of each other: - The SRM module is releasing a sample tube (Tube A) just placed into the carrier - Another sample tube (Tube B) is erroneously not diverted into the SRM module buffer - There is divert gate malfunction and a narrow timing window Only in this specific scenario, Tube A may be released by the module as Tube B due to a miscommunication between the module firmware and the Automation software without a unique error message being generated. The Automation System loses the traceability of Tube A. It manages both Tube A (incorrectly identified as Tube B) and the real Tube B according to the pending test orders (not yet performed) on Tube B.
