Recall started
18 August 2026
Reason
In vitro diagnostic analyzer had a risk of potentially inaccurate results requiring changes to instructions for use and: 1) Sample types, including whole blood samples no longer suitable for testing FHbF and ctBil, 2) Reportable ranges for some parameters, 3) Analyzer configuration, and 4) limitations and warnings.

Recall number
Z-0190-2027

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
21 March 2025
Reason
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.

Reason
Radiometer has become aware of an issue with PICO70 Arterial Blood Sampler. The issue relates to the sterile barrier system for the product. During internal stress testing on PICO70 Arterial Blood Samplers a breach in the sterile barrier system was observed in one sample. Risk for the patient: The described error is considered to have a remote possibility of resulting in bacterial bloodstream infection. The bloodstream infection may be asymptomatic but may also progress to sepsis or life-threatening septic shock. Immunosuppressed patients are at particular risk. Due to issues (breaches) with the sterile barrier system for the Arterial Blood Sampler.

8 November 2024
Reason
The analyzers fail on S7950 (Range +) QC measurements due to the hemolyzer cuvettes, a subcomponent of the optical system which measures ctHb and derivates. In a cuvette with light shunt, some of the received light has not been transmitted through the sample. This will lead to a perturbed and non-linear absorbance spectrum which results in measurement errors.
