Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc. · Class II · device

Product

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.

Distribution

The products were distributed to the following foreign countries: Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Vietnam. No affected products distributed in the United States.
