Timeline

Reason for recall

The content of the second #023 barcode ID label in the Barcode ID Label Binder is incorrect. The second barcode ID label #023 symbol incorrectly identifies as #024 when scanned. If measurement protocols have been programmed for both ID #023 and #024, the protocol associated with barcode ID #024 is executed. If the error is undetected, the Gamma Counter may produce erroneous results.
