Why the product was recalled
The identified problem is an erroneous association between the carrier and the sample tube caused by a communication error between the firmware of the Interface Modules and the Automation software. This problem can occur only when one of these Interface Modules is put off-line after a carrier in their secondary lane is physically returned on the main track and then put back on-line when the carrier is used to transport another tube.
