✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer

What happened, in plain English

Siemens is recalling Atellica CH 930 clinical chemistry analyzers that have software versions 1.19.2 or older. These analyzers might produce incorrect results for hemolysis and lipemia tests, which could affect patient diagnosis.

Why it’s dangerous

The software versions 1.19.2 and older may calculate hemolysis and lipemia indices incorrectly. Hemolysis and lipemia are conditions where blood cells break down or fat content is high, which can interfere with test accuracy. Incorrect results could lead to misdiagnosis of patient conditions.

Who’s affected

Healthcare facilities using Siemens Atellica CH 930 analyzers with software versions 1.19.2 or older for clinical testing are affected. Laboratory staff and patients using these analyzers for blood tests may be at risk of inaccurate results.

How to tell if you have this one

Check if your Siemens Atellica CH 930 analyzer has software version 1.19.2 or older. The product uses Siemens Material Number (SMN) 11067000 for clinical chemistry testing.
