Why it was recalled

In certain firmware versions, in case a Clot Detection error (error code E0E0 or 13E0) is generated during the sample aspiration the current error recovery procedure dispenses 2/3 of sample volume back into the Primary Tube. Evidence from the field showed that in case of Clot Detection error, this management may lead to the dilution of the Primary Tube with the distilled water of the hydraulic circuit of the Aliquoter Module.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
