Laboratory Information System SoftGenomics Recalled for Displaying Incorrect Results

SoftGenomics version 4.1.15.6, a laboratory information system used in clinical laboratories, has been recalled due to reports that the software displays incorrect results and PDF reports do not match the hospital information system.

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 an FDA Class II medical device recall. The hazard is data accuracy and system-record mismatch in a clinical laboratory system. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The software failure represents a risk of harm to patients whose care depends on accurate lab results, but without reported adverse outcomes, this meets the High (score 3) criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
