Reason for Recall#

BCR wands that received a configuration update (released under Service Information No. 2026-07 on or after April 8, 2026) may assign patient results to an incorrect patient ID. The root cause is a race condition introduced when the "price check" feature was disabled to reduce excess current draw. This causes buffered data from a previous scan to be transmitted instead of the most recent scan, populating a prior patient ID instead of the current one. This can result in erroneous results being attributed to the wrong patient, potentially leading to inappropriate clinical management.
