| Issue: | In July 2018, the manufacturer advised that the ABL800 series analysers could potentially provide a mix-up of patient results when Confirmation of Demographics is enabled as part of the query to AQURE, Radiance, or a HIS LIS system. (Note: The default setting is that this function is disabled.) The manufacturer has since been working on a permanent solution which involved a redesign of the analyser software. The permanent countermeasure to this issue is now released in software version 6.18 MR1. |
