Product
Software Package, Sorting-Drive 4.2 User Kit, Part No. B73488, Manufactured by: Beckman Coulter Biomedical GmbH The Sorting-Drive itself is an optional software to be used with the Automate 2500 Family of products. The system automates the process of sorting, decapping, and archiving samples. The Sorting-Drive 4.2. User Kit includes the Sorting-Drive Client software application that includes an option for manual printing of barcodes for sample tubes.
Reason
Sorting-Drive software version 4.2 (released in October 2015) introduced a new option which included the Sorting-Drive Client that is used for manual printing of barcodes. When printing consecutively numbered tube labels using this optional Barcode Counter function, the system incorrectly converts numbers with consecutive multiple zeroes in the middle, potentially leading to wrong barcode IDs. The firm reports this does not affect automated label creation or reprinting of individual labels and that no other system functions are affected.
