Action Taken
Consignees were notified via an Urgent Medical Device correction letter dated 6/11/08 informing users of the problem and providing them with work-around instructions. The instructions suggests 1) inserting the cassette rack slowly; 2) using mainly reagent slots A, B, or C; 3) tilting the rack slightly clockwise so the barcode scanner does not read the barcode at an exact 90 degree angle; and 4) confirming the rack is properly seated on the track and displayed on the Cassette Status screen. If the cassette barcode does not register after following the Work-Around instructions, then customers are required to contact Diagnostics Technical Support.
