Reason

This medical device recall is to communicate the release of a washer firmware update 04.0019 on the Galileo Neo. This firmware update is intended to reduce the occurrence of false errors with the washer liquid level sense (LLS) function during initialization or assay processing on the neo. The LLS function checks for inadequate volume before and after each assay wash. This firmware update will be applied to Neo systems currently operating with instrument control software (ICS) 1.5.10.7. Immucor has determined that unexpected (false) LLS errors are linked to the presence of excessive salt accumulation.
