| Issue: | The manufacturer has become aware that the internal barcode reader, included in all versions of the ABL80 analyser, may potentially misinterpret the contents of a locally printed barcode label used for entering patient ID or accession number into the analyser in connection with a sample measurement. The issue identified only relates to barcode types not using a check digit. A check digit enables the barcode reader to validate the data read, and hence, to capture if the barcode has been misinterpreted and consequently to reject such data. |
