Action
Customers were contacted via telephone and an URGENT: MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION notification letter beginning 3/22/23. Actions: Stago downgraded your firmware to the previous firmware version as a precaution. Your downgrade has already occurred. Consequently, the risk of this bug only existed during the time period shown above (i.e. from new firmware installation date to the downgrade date). As patient results are interpreted in association with other biological tests, we leave the decision to review previous patient results based on the complete clinical context to your discretion. Our Customer Service team is available to help you carry out your impact analysis. For additional information, please contact your Stago Hotline at 1-800-725-0607.
