Description

DxC 500 AU Clinical Chemistry Analyzer, REF C63520 is an automated chemistry analyzer that measures analytes in samples, in combination with appropriate reagents, calibrators, quality control (QC) material and other accessories. This system is for in vitro diagnostic use only.

Reason

There are two software bug issues with the analyzer. Issue 1: When a dedicated rack is reserved for calibration, after a calibration test has been placed and completed, the same rack may be used to place both a patient order and a calibration order. When a patient sample and a non-barcoded calibrator tube is processed on the rack, the calibration result will be reported as a patient result. Issue 2: calibration with expired calibrator. They both may cause erroneous patient results, but the probability of serious adverse health consequences or death is unlikely.
