Aperio ScanScope Systems Recalled for Incorrect User Guide Labeling
Aperio Technologies is recalling 364 ScanScope systems because user guides incorrectly claim FDA clearance for diagnostic use, when the devices are for research only.
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: This is a Class II recall involving a labeling error that could lead to misuse of a research device for diagnostic purposes, fitting the criteria for moderate severity due to potential risk of harm without reported injuries.
Plain-English summary
Aperio Technologies Inc. is recalling 364 units of the Aperio ScanScope System, including models XT, AT, AT Turbo, CS, and CSO. These automated digital slide creation and viewing devices are intended to create and view electronic image files of tissue specimens fixed to glass slides.
The recall was initiated because the User Guides incorrectly state that the devices have been cleared for specific applications. The guides should state that the devices are for Research Use Only and are not for use in diagnostic procedures.
The affected units were distributed nationwide, including all states, but not internationally. Users should check their device serial numbers against the list provided in the official recall notice to determine if their unit is affected.
