RECALLING FIRM/MANUFACTURER
Recalling Firm: Radiometer America Inc., Westlake, OH, by Safety Alert
Notice on November 13, 2006.
Manufacturer: Radiometer Medical ApS, Bronshoj, Denmark. Firm initiated recall
is ongoing.
REASON
Software anomaly. Protein removing program incorporated in the operating software
for Versions: V3.833 and V5.24, of the ABL700 and ABL800 Blood Gas Analyzers,
may allow for protein build up on the electrode membranes of blood gas analyzers.
This condition can influence analyzer results. When the protein removal program
is run too frequently, more than once a week, or when running the protein removal
program instead of the cleaning program, this may damage the reference membrane
and result in incorrect pH and electrolyte values being reported.
