Reported risk: Siemens is investigating an issue which may cause an incorrect result to be reported. Siemens received two reports of multiple discordant records for the same Sample ID in the ADVIA 560 Hematology System database that occurred during the installation of the systems. The database should only contain one record of a Sample ID number for any given time and date. If there are multiple records for the same Sample ID, it is possible that multiple results may be manually or automatically sent to the Laboratory Information System (LIS), printed or displayed on the results report screen.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
