Product description

Radiometer ABL90 Series - Radiometer ABL90 FLEX Model Number 393-090 Radiometer ABL90 Series - Radiometer ABL90 FLEX PLUS Model Number 393-092 The Radiometer ABL90 Series is a portable, automated analyzer for use in the laboratory environment, near patients or point-of-care settings.

Reason for recall

ABL90 FLEX and ABL90 FLEX PLUS analyzers running with Radiometer Windows 10 versions RWIN10 1.0 and RWIN10 1.1 may unexpectedly freeze (the analyzer ceases to operate) during a sample measurement. The analyzer software includes a feature (watchdog) that detects a freeze and automatically restarts the software to continue operating the analyzer. However, even if a restart occurs, any sample being processed at that time will be lost, potential to lead to delay in test results.
