Event Description

It was reported that during use with the bd totalys slideprep, cross-contamination occurred.There was no report of patient impact.The following information was provided by the initial reporter, translated from japanese: cross contamination occurred extrusion at approximately the same location on the specimen cells that could be identified as someone else's were on the same place on about 30 slides.The location where it occurs is almost the same position on the slide, so i judged that it was due to the contact of the quad nozzle.
