PRODUCT
LElecsys 2010 Analyzer Software version 06-07 The Elecsys 2010 analyzer is intended for the in vitro quantitative and qualitative analysis of analytes in body fluids. a) Elecsys 2010 Analyzer Rack; b) Elecsys 2010 Analyzer Disk; c) Software version 06-07. Recall # Z-1218-2012
REASON
Elecsys 2010 customers have reported getting no value and flag 48 results below expected value range after performing automatic dilution for a sample that previously recovered above the measuring range. Incorrect but believable results may occur for the CEA, Rubella IgG or SHBG assays. The other affected assays will generate either no value or a negative result, both of which are not believable since the sample was diluted due to a result that was initially too high.
