Reason for recall
Automated pipetting, diluting and specimen processing workstations for flow cytometric analysis device instructions for use list incorrect dead volumes: Cassette Type/List volume/correct volume, B/750/1582 microliters, and E/1300/2093 microliters. Device software does not rock Cassette E, used with 15mmX92mm Sarstedt tubes. May lead to incorrect diagnosis or error in patient management/treatment.
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.
