What the authority reported
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is recalling their epoc Blood Analysis System because of a software malfunction that occurs when specific criteria are met that can result in the incorrect patient name being assigned to a blood measurement by the device if the user of the device does not ensure verification of the correct patient name. The software malfunction has the potential to impact patient safety via misdiagnosis and/or mistreatment by a clinician if the wrong patient information is saved with the test result from the subject device.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
