Recalled Products

BD EpiCenterTM v6.20A

Reason

Bruker released updates to the MALDI BioTyper MSP database where organism naming changes have been implemented. BD was unaware of these changes and consequently did not implement corresponding changes to the BD EpiCenter database. If a MALDI BioTyper MSP database was updated after the initial interfacing to BD EpiCenter, inconsistent organism naming may be observed between the BD EpiCenter and Bruker MALDI BioTyper software for a very limited number of organisms.
