Recall details

Recalling firm
Roche Diagnostics Corp.
Reason for recall
Some of the labels are glossy, resulting in the bar code being difficult to read by the bar code reader.
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.
