Description

UniCel DxC 660i, 680i, 860i, and 880i SYNCHRON Access Clinical Systems, that are re-configured so that the DxI system is separated from the DxC system and the DxI instrument is then connected to an automation line.

Reason

When racks are front-loaded onto the sample presentation unit while samples from the automation line are being processed, a scheduling error within the software can cause mishandling of samples during the creation of an aliquot and lead to incorrect results being generated. Affected samples typically yield non-reproducible falsely decreased results by up to 100%, however the potential for falsely elevated results cannot be ruled out.
