Based on FDA recall #Z-2580-2021 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-2580-2021%22&limit=1).

The FDA announced on August 16, 2021, that Biodex Medical Systems, Inc. is recalling Atomlab 500 Dose Calibrator Software versions 2.0.00 through 2.0.08 due to a hazard involving incorrect dose measurements and potential misadministration.

How to tell if you have it

  • Brand: Biodex
  • Product: Atomlab 500 Dose Calibrator Software 2.0.00 through Revision 2.0.08, inclusive
  • Model: 086-330

The hazard
