Recall Insight

This recall's affected scope, documented in the Recall Profile below, stays within a single-region or limited-distribution footprint. Distribution scope (see Distribution below) directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

Within the same product category the archive holds 6 closely related recalls, 6 from FDA Devices - clustering in a narrow category often points to a systemic quality-control or supplier issue rather than a one-off defect. Always verify the recall number against the official agency record before acting.

Product description

Atellica CH 930 Analyzer, Siemens Material Number 11067000, Software Versions V1.19.2 or 1.20.0 The Atellica CH 930 Analyzer is an automated, clinical chemistry analyzer designed to perform in vitro diagnostic tests on clinical specimens.

Reason for recall

On the Atellica CH 930 Analyzer, when scanning barcodes at the module console for Integrated Multisensor Technology (IMT) system fluids (Standard A (Std A) and Standard B (Std B)) for Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), and Chloride (Cl), the system will translate the decimal point separators to commas. This will result in invalid concentration values for the fluids, therefore the system will utilize default nominal values instead of lot specific IMT fluid concentration values for calculation of the calibrations and results for the Na, K, and Cl methods.
