Recall record

Recall number: Z-2199-2020
Classification: Class II
Status: Open, Classified
Initiated: 2020-04-07
Posted: 2020-06-01
Recalling firm: Inpeco S.p.A.
Product: Accelerator a3600 Automation System using the Aliquoter Module (Inpeco P/N FLX-212) - Product Usage: The systems consolidate multiple Analytical instruments into a unified workstation.
Product code: CEM Electrode, Ion Specific, Potassium
Reason for recall: In certain firmware versions, in case a Clot Detection error (error code E0E0 or 13E0) is generated during the sample aspiration the current error recovery procedure dispenses 2/3 of sample volume back into the Primary Tube. Evidence from the field showed that in case of Clot Detection error, this management may lead to the dilution of the Primary Tube with the distilled water of the hydraulic circuit of the Aliquoter Module.
Root cause tag: software
FDA root cause: Software design
Action: Urgent: Medical Device Correction dated 03/30/2020 were sent to customers. The impacted modules are the Aliquoter Modules (Inpeco Part Number FLX-212) with a firmware version prior to the following: AQMb_3-3-0.H86; AQMa_3-1-1-8.H86 and AQMb_3-1-1-8.H86; xAQMb_1-1-0.elf; Action to be taken by the user To avoid the risk of contamination take the following precaution: 1) Discard the Primary Tube flagged with Clot Detection error or manage it according to your laboratory guidelines considering that it may be diluted. 2) Call Service Assistant in case the frequency of the Clot Detection Error increases (more than 5 consecutive Clot Detection Errors). Your service provider will contact you to schedule the firmware upgrade. Until the service visit please maintain awareness on this notice. Please complete and return the "Customer Letter Receipt Confirmation and Implementation CHeck form" attached to this letter with 15 days directly at the email address specified in the email communication.

About this record

Sourced from the FDA device recall database and the FDA enforcement reports, both ingested from openFDA. The recall record supplies the product, the reason and the product code; the enforcement report supplies the classification. The two datasets are exported by FDA on different days, and the date above is the older of the two, so nothing on this page is newer than it says.

MDM adds the root cause tag, derived from FDA’s own root cause text, and the cross-links to the product code, the clearances named on the record and MDM coverage. Where a recall has not been joined to an enforcement report, no classification is shown.
