Sunquest Laboratory SMART Software Recalled for Test Result Filing Errors

Sunquest Information Systems is recalling Sunquest Laboratory SMART software versions 6.3.0 and later because test results may be filed to the wrong patient containers.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which by definition is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences, and the source text describes a data filing error rather than a direct physical hazard.

Plain-English summary

Sunquest Information Systems, Inc. is recalling Sunquest Laboratory SMART and Sunquest Laboratory SMART Select software, version 6.3.0 and later. The recall involves 103 sites with nationwide distribution.

The recall is due to a software defect in Online Entry (OEx) where test results from one container may be filed to a test on another container. This error occurs when specific site parameters are set to restrict results to the owner container, tests are ordered on the same accession number, and test codes are defined with the same upload code as either replicate.

Healthcare facilities using these software versions should contact Sunquest Information Systems for further instructions on correcting the software configuration or applying patches to prevent incorrect test result filing.
