Why these products were recalled

An internal investigation identified a bug in this firmware version, resulting in the following:Intermittent shortened coagulation times and an increased frequency of occurrence of a technical error reported by the analyzer (error 13).

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
