What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The identified issues are software behavioral errors that may lead to incorrect diagnostic results or sample handling errors, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, serious injuries, or deaths.
Plain-English summary
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc. is recalling 115 units of the Atellica CH 930 Analyzer (SMN 11067000) and related Atellica Solution systems. The recall affects software version 1.13 and lower. The Atellica Solution is a multi-component system used for in vitro diagnostic testing of clinical specimens.
The recall was initiated because five behavioral issues were identified in the software. These issues include: the Reagent Lock may not function correctly when multiple lots of specific reagent kits are loaded; sample barcodes may be read incorrectly; the Atellica IM 1300 and 1600 Analyzers may fail to run specific Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) dilutions and may post a Sample Integrity Error; the Atellica CH 930 Analyzer may continue to display default reporting units after they have been changed; and the Atellica CH 930 Analyzer may fail to display results for samples if certain assays are configured to auto-dilute results outside the measuring interval.
The affected units were distributed nationwide and in foreign countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Republic Korea, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, U.A.E., and the United Kingdom.
