Why these products were recalled

A software defect in the DxA Automation System may cause tests to be run on patient samples in tube types not compatible with the requested test, leading to erroneous patient results

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.
