Reason for recall
When a DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer is connected to a Laboratory Automation System (LAS) and is running with the system software versions 1.17.0 and below, the analyzer does not send a message to the LAS when the sample wheel is full, and the LAS continues sending samples despite the limited capacity to process new samples. Therefore, sample tests may be aliquoted but not processed when the number of tests associated with onboard patient samples exceeds the throughput limit. If this issue occurs test results are flagged with a sample wheel timeout (SWT) error flag, and there may be a delay in reporting test results which could lead to a delay in patient treatment.
