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, which typically corresponds to a moderate severity. The defect causes data display and saving errors but does not involve a direct physical hazard or reported injuries.
Plain-English summary
Agilent Technologies, Inc. is recalling MassHunter Quantitative Analysis Software, Version B.07.01, used with Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers models K6460 and K6420. The recall affects 235 units distributed nationwide in the United States.
The recall is due to a software defect that occurs when using the 'Batch at a Glance' feature in the Compound Table view. When a new sample is inserted, the sample name becomes offset by one from the column header, creating a mismatch. Additionally, the Quant batch table will not display fully analyzed results or save any changes made.
Users of this software should discontinue using the affected workflow to generate reports. The recalling firm requests that users stop using this specific workflow to avoid data integrity issues.
