Reason for recall

Twelve software-related issues affecting software version 9.41 and earlier were identified. The issues include bypassing error codes, incorrect calibration, loss of module communication leading to overfilling wash buffer containers, missing QC flags, signal spikes, abnormal optics reads, and incorrect sample aspiration. The issues may lead to inaccurate results with an unknown bias direction and magnitude for assays measuring cardiac, metabolic (including diabetes), toxicology, prenatal, therapeutic drug monitoring, infectious disease, oncology, hepatic, pancreatic, hematological, endocrinologic, inflammatory analytes.
