Software change control
Action
Recall initiated on April 11, 2008. A Product Correction letter and customer reply form were sent to all currently active CELL-DYN Sapphire Customers. The letter requests that users be certain that the transmission of test results receipt by the host interface is mapped according to the Numerical Result Label, when configuring their CELL-DYN Sapphire Hematology Analyzer for results transmission to a Clinical Laboratory Information System or Middleware. Affected product was distributed to a total of 4 distributors. However, notification was made to all 154 customers that received the CELL-DYNE Sapphire product. If the customer or the health care providers that they serve have any questions regarding this information, U.S. customers should call Customer Support at 1-877-4ABBOTT.
