Reason for recall
When expired reagents are scanned or manually entered, the system will change the expiration date to current or future date without notifying user that an expired reagent is being used. Use of expired reagents is against the guidelines of the Operator's Manual.
Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
