Recall Insight

This FDA Devices action (record #Z-0992-2015) was formally reported on January 21, 2015, with the manufacturer initiating the action on November 10, 2014. It is classified under Low severity (Class III), with a current status of Terminated. Tecan US, Inc. is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Morrisville, NC. The number of affected units is not disclosed in the agency filing, which is common for drug and food recalls where lot-level tracking supersedes unit counts.

The documented reason for this recall is: Incorrect lumi firmware version installed (E.027 instead of V2.00) Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Worldwide Distribution - USA including MD and Internationally to Hong Kong, South Korea and the UK.. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Devices. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 11 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
