Bio-Rad recalls EVOLIS Microplate System with TimeLiner software due to potential for incorrect lab results. Affected units may need correction to prevent errors in laboratory testing.
User-induced circumstances can contribute to the EVOLIS Microplate Processor System not handling repeat testing requests/results properly and may contribute to transmitting erroneous results to the customer's Laboratory Information System (LIS).
Bio-Rad is recalling its EVOLIS Microplate System with TimeLiner Data Management Software because it can sometimes send wrong lab results to your laboratory system. This could lead to incorrect testing outcomes if the system isn't handled properly.
The system may not handle repeat testing requests correctly, which can cause it to send incorrect results to the laboratory information system. This could lead to wrong lab outcomes if the system is used without proper attention.
Laboratory users who have the EVOLIS Microplate System with TimeLiner software version 1.4 or newer are affected. Those handling lab testing results are most at risk of errors.
Check for the product catalog number 89700 for the microplate system and catalog number 90471A for the TimeLiner software. The software version should be 1.4 or newer with the UDI 03610520562024.
