Sight OLO Blood Analysis Device: Incorrect Reference Ranges May Display

The Sight OLO blood analysis device may display and print incorrect reference ranges in software versions 2.59.3 and earlier. This could occur when custom reference ranges were configured after device installation.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm device issue where the software error could result in incorrect laboratory test result values being displayed and reported, potentially leading to diagnostic errors. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard remains theoretical. The device is operating under FDA Class II classification.

Plain-English summary

The Sight OLO is a computer-vision-based medical device used for blood analysis. It identifies and quantifies blood components through image processing algorithms and provides complete blood count (CBC) analysis with 5-part white blood cell differentials.

A software vulnerability has been identified in Sight OLO devices running software version 2.59.3 and all earlier versions. When custom reference ranges are manually configured on the device after installation, the software may inadvertently apply changes that result in incorrectly-configured reference range values being displayed and printed with test results.
