Recall details

Recalling firm

Radiometer Medical ApS

Reason for recall

Due to potential software issue that may result in patient mix-up information.

Action taken

On 03/08/2023, the firm sent an "Urgent: Medical Device Recall" letter via email and FedEx to customers informing them that there is a potential software issue that may result in patient information mix-up when connected to the LumiraDx device. This may potentially result in a patient with critically or life-threatening elevated levels of D-dimer or NT-pro-BNP being diagnosed with levels within the normal range. Customers are instructed to perform: 1) With immediate effect, cease using the LumiraDx devices if connected with an AQURE system with the affected software versions: 2.5.2, 2.5.3, 2.5.4 2.6.0 2.6.1 2) Within two weeks of receipt of this letter, complete and email a copy of the Recall Response Form and return it to a Radiometer Representative. A Radiometer Representative will contact and schedule a visit or remote session to: " If you use LumiraDx devices connected with AQURE, your AQURE system must be upgraded. Your local Radiometer representative will contact you when a solution is available. " If you do not use LumiraDx devices, your Radiometer representative will contact you and remove the LumiraDx driver from the AQURE system, hence preventing the usage of LumiraDx devices in context with your current AQURE system(s). For questions, contact Radiometer at 1-800-736-0600, Monday - Friday 9 am to 7 pm (EST).
