A software issue which may affect bd prepstain slide processors running one of the following software versions: - gyn 1.2 and non-gyn 2.80 - gyn 1.3.0.1 and non-gyn 2.80 rack layout data for software version non-gyn 2.80 are incorrectly reset when gyn software version gyn 1.2 or 1.3.0.1 are subsequently installed on the system. this will result in a loss of chain of custody for non-gynecological samples. when the issue occurs the first 12 samples are not processed at all and all others (up to 36 per run) are deposited on the wrong slide. the risk is highest for customers who have software version gyn 1.3.0.1 (released in june 2008). it is also possible that the issue could occur with software version gyn 1.2 (released in october 2005). there is no impact to gynecological specimen processing (pap tests). in september 2008 all customers using the bd prepstain slide processor were made aware of this software issue and informed that the error may have potentially resulted in mismatched patient results. a process was initiated and is still ongoing to upgrade software for affected customers. bd-canada field service personnel will be upgrading (or have already upgraded) all bd prepstain slide processors to unaffected software versions (gyn 1.3.0.2 or gyn 1.3.0.3).
