  • Causa
    It has been identified that when a reagent vial with an unreadable barcode is loaded on a reagents rack on ih-1000 (software version 04.07.02) and a test is performed, despite the fact the first reagent is correctly pipetted, the instrument will pipette from the vial with unreadable barcode for all the remaining wells. the system will add serum and continue as normal without alarm.This error happens following a specific sequence of events:1. use ih-1000 in version 04.07.022. load a reagent in a reagent rack3. the barcode on the reagent vial is not readable4. perform a test requiring the reagent with the unreadable barcode 5. validate the results through ih-com.
