Product

enGen (TM) Laboratory Automation System configured with Data Innovations, LLC Instrument Manager (TM) (IM) v8.06 --- For in vitro quantitative measurement of a variety of analytes of clinical interest --- Background: The enGen (TM) Lab Automation System is a modification to VITROS Analyzers that includes the addition of an automated track sub-system (TCAutomation) for pre-analytical and post-analytical sample and data management. In addition to an Automated Track Sub-system, the enGen (TM) System includes one or more VITROS Chemistry, Immunodiagnostic and/or Integrated Systems (clinical analyzers) as well as a Data Management Subsystem (Middleware), and a Software Configuration (gsb) File. The enGen System is typically interfaced with a Laboratory Information System (LIS) via connectivity facilitated at the Data Management Subsystem level.

Reason

Software Anomaly: Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (OCD) has become aware that if a sample requires follow-up action, such as dilution or retesting due to a mechanical issue, it is possible for that sample to be routed to the sample storage drawer (Storage) prior to the completion of the necessary pending action. A delay in patient test result(s) reporting could occur as operator is not alerted that results have not been produced and that further actions are required.
