Manufacturer Reason for Recall |
The BD MAX System software version 4.44A contains a software anomaly that has the potential to affect some Open System Reagent (OSR) customers utilizing User Defined Protocol (UDP) assays. Customers utilizing only IVD assays are not affected.
This anomaly may cause the OSR customer system to incorrectly switch the columns of the truth table on the users display. If the user tries to fix their display data, the display will appear correct however, the database may become incorrect, potentially resulting in incorrect results reporting.
BD is able to trace the issue to a limited number of instruments that have software version 4.44A installed. Note that the problem only affects customers that are either creating a new UDP with Result Logic or modifying the Result Logic of an existing UDP.
