Action Siemes issued an Urgent Medical Device Correction (UMDC) was mailed to all US affected customers by FedEx beginning on 05/18/2021. An Urgent Field Safety Notice (UFSN) was issued to all OUS Siemens sites with affected customers electronically for distribution and regional reporting to their local competent authorities beginning on 05/18/2021. Letter states reason for recall, health risk, and action to take: Until the next version of instrument software is available Siemens recommends changing the software behavior from the current default of 2: Warning+STOP to 1: Warning. The behavior for the Warning setting is to display the test result as ERROR with a Safety(S) flag and generate a yellow warning in the Operators event log for each test result encountering a mix error. The instrument will continue to process samples. The flagged test must be repeated to obtain a valid result. If you have any questions, please contact your Siemens Healthineers Customer Care Center or your local Siemens Healthineers technical support representative. The ADVIA Chemistry XPT version 1.6 software will be released in June 2021
