Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

Software Anomaly; It is possible for the device to process samples with a cartridge other than the intended cartridge, potentially leading to erroneous patient results. If this anomaly occurred previously, an indication would be a series of results that were similar across multiple samples (i.e., results could be believable or outside of the Reportable Range for the intended assay).

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
