Why it was recalled

Software anomaly may allow VITROS Systems to sample and process assays while the fluids and reagent temperatures are not in the required temperature range for optimal processing. When this intermittent issue occurs, the VITROS Systems continue to operate and process results without notification to the User, possibly producing erroneous results.

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