- Reason
- The identified problem is an erroneous association between the carrier and the sample tube caused by a communication error between the firmware of the Interface Modules and the Automation software. This problem can occur only when one of these Interface Modules is put off-line after a carrier in their secondary lane is physically returned on the main track and then put back on-line when the carrier is used to transport another tube.
- Root cause
- Software design
- Action
- Urgent: Medical Device Correction notification letters dated 3/30/20 were sent to customers. 1) Visually check that the secondary lane of the Interface Modules listed in Table 1 is empty before sending the Off-line command; or 2) Select the "Going to Off-line" command for the Interface Modules listed in Table 1. This ensures that the Module completes processing samples already inside the Module, releases the tubes and then passes to Off-line status. Your service provider will contact you to schedule the firmware upgrade. Until the service visit please maintain awareness on this notice. Please complete and return the "Customer Letter Receipt Confirmation and Implementation Check form" attached to this letter within 15 days directly to the email address specified in the email communication. Please transfer this notice to whom it might concern.
