The active ingredient concentration in the lysing bag solution of specific GEM Premier 7000 with iQM3 PAK lots did not meet established manufacturing specifications. The malfunction could result in delayed recognition and management of Co-Oximetry and total bilirubin abnormalities and their sequelae.

BCR wands that received a configuration update (released under Service Information No. 2026-07 on or after April 8, 2026) may assign patient results to an incorrect patient ID. The root cause is a race condition introduced when the "price check" feature was disabled to reduce excess current draw. This causes buffered data from a previous scan to be transmitted instead of the most recent scan, populating a prior patient ID instead of the current one. This can result in erroneous results being attributed to the wrong patient, potentially leading to inappropriate clinical management.

i-STAT EG7+ cartridge;

Approximately 7.6% of cartridges from specific i-STAT EG7+ (list number 03P76-25), i-STAT EG6+ (list number 03P77-25) and i-STAT G3+ (list number 03P78-26) cartridge lots in the U.S. marketplace may report higher than expected PCO2 and lower than expected pH results due to a manufacturing issue. A falsely high pCO2 together with a falsely low pH makes the blood gas appear as if the patient is in severe respiratory acidosis. If the clinician believes the values are real, it may trigger unnecessary or even harmful interventions such as unnecessary ventilator changes, unnecessary medications, potential harm from overcorrection, or delays in identifying true problems.
