What the authority reported
Leica Biosystems became aware, through post market surveillance, of an issue regarding poorly processed and/or damaged biopsy tissue specimens on the Histocore Pegasus / Histocore Pegasus Plus, resulting from incorrect assignment of the carryover value set for created or edited protocols. If the setup of carryover is lower than the actual carryover, it may potentially cause tissue damage (mainly under-processed tissue). Recall start date: November 9, 2023
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.
