Recall details

Recalling firm

Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc.

Reason for recall

A software anomaly may cause an aliquoted sample to be labelled as the incorrect sample. This may lead to results being associated with the wrong patient sample and potentially lead to inappropriate intervention with the potential for injury to the patient.

Action taken

On November 20, 2020, the firm sent Urgent Product Correction Notification letters to affected customers to inform them of the issue. Customers were reminded to follow product labelling regarding removing all tubes before performing maintenance or initializing the Aliquoter & Labeller Module. There should never be sample tubes present when initializing the Aliquoter & Labeller module. The firm's release of TCA Software version 4.7 is the planned mitigation for this issue. If you have questions, please contact Ortho Care Technical Solutions Center at 1-800-421-3311.
