Recalls naming this device

  1. Jan 28, 2021Terminated

    bioMrieux has identified a potential safety risk worst case of a false susceptible erroneous test result associated with this event. The problem is when HL7 Connection is used, the results in the VITEK 2 do not match the results sent to the LIS and the Laboratory Technician would need to change results in the LIS to match those in the VITEK 2. If the isolate is sent more than once to LIS, a software defect prevents the system from sending the expertised interpretation results and the Therapeutic Corrections (TC) is not sent to Laboratory Information Systems (LIS).
