Action Taken
An Urgent Medical Device Recall letter was sent during the week of 10/28/2019 to the affected customers via mail and e-mail. The notice stated the misidentification issue as follows: Customers have reported incidents where two sets of results report the same Specimen Identifier (Specimen ID) with different results, different Medical Record Number (MRN) and different patient identification (demographics)." The following actions were provided to reduce the potential for this issue until a software update is available: - Follow good laboratory practice (GLP) and ensure that a unique identification system is in place. - Ensure that specimens are labeled with a unique Specimen ID and manual orders utilize a unique Specimen ID. - Do not reuse barcode number that identify different specimens. If barcode numbers must be reused, ensure results have been released from the LIS and the instrument Work List has been cleared. - Clear all manual Orders immediately after results are released, even if barcodes are used for subsequent runs (see iQ200 or iChemVELOCITY IFU, Chaper 7, Manual Orders).
