    SFDA urges all hospitals that have devices subjected to recall, to contact the company.
  • Reason
    A buffer overflow may occur on the main board during a flush, which takes place when the aqt90 has been idle for more than 6 hours. the overflow could cause the analyzer to enter into an error stage with different error messages and would require a restart of the analyzer to proceed. this stage is known as the “usb software error”. in some situations the analyzer would lose current calibrations requiring a recalibration. this means that the temporary workaround described in the technical bulletin – to restart the analyzer when it has been idle for more than six hours – is no longer necessary.
