- 2022-09-07FDA-DeviceAggredyne, Inc.Class IIAggreGuide A-100 Instrument
The firm identified a software design issue where the improper shut down of the instrument resulted in speeds.csv file contents of the software version 5.1 being erased. Due to this issue, the target RPM for the assay is 0 and the motor output required to achieve this RPM is also 0. Therefore, when the assay is run, the software applies 0 Volts to the motor and performs a 0 RPM assay. Because of this, there is no mixing of the blood with agonist and no moving of aggregates happens in front of the optical detectors. The resulting PAI is 0 and the result is displayed as Low.

Following a system restart where the Table Height 2 (TH2) is the default setting and then switched to Wallstand VS2, operators will see an incorrect orientation of the image on the first examination due to an issue in the firmware of the Wallstand VS2 board. The system will rotate the amplimat field selection by 90 degrees. The wrong amplimat field selection may cause an incorrect dose of radiation to occur. Additionally, the anatomic position markers may become mispositioned and could potentially be associated with the opposite side of the anatomy. (Added 1/3/2023), Expansion of the root cause to include incorrect amplimat field selection by 90 degrees following the first exposure using Wallstand VS2 and a subsequent system restart. Previously, this issue only occurred following a system restart where the Table Height 2 (TH2) is the default setting.
