Manufacturer Reason for Recall | Sorting-Drive software version 4.2 (released in October 2015) introduced a new option which included the Sorting-Drive Client that is used for manual printing of barcodes.
When printing consecutively numbered tube labels using this optional Barcode Counter function, the system incorrectly converts numbers with consecutive multiple zeroes in the middle, potentially leading to wrong barcode IDs. The firm reports this does not affect automated label creation or reprinting of individual labels and that no other system functions are affected. |
