PRODUCT

It can also be connected to a host system. It provides data management capabilities such as automatic results validation, delta checking, reflex testing, quality control, results editing, archiving and restoration of patient results.

Recall Number:

Z-2028-2025

REASON:

Due to a software issue, the software may incorrectly process the date of birth (DoB) received from the Laboratory Information System (LIS) and when the DoB is set to 01/01/1900 or left empty, REMISOL Advance may incorrectly identify a patient as a newborn, affecting the execution of validation rules based on incorrect reference ranges. The test results are not changed by this software defect and are accurately displayed by REMISOL Advance; however, the evaluation flagging of the results may be affected. This issue may lead to wrong reference range calculations and can result in erroneous flagged results being auto validated and uploaded to LIS.
