2. Agency hazard and consumer action

FDA reports: Certain AU480 chemistry analyzers, with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC PCs, may output the message System Stopped By Fatal Error: DBConnectionError AlarmDB when launching the instrument software, using PC pre-installed with Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Express. When this occurs, AlarmDB becomes unreadable and the instrument software cannot be started. This causes a delay in obtaining patient results.

No consumer remedy instructions are supplied in this record. Check the official notice and listed company contact for the agency’s current instructions.
