Life Technologies Corporation has recalled 28 units of Torrent Suite Dx Software (versions 5.14 and earlier) used with Ion PGM DX Systems. These systems are used for targeted DNA and RNA sequencing from blood and tissue samples. The recall was initiated because a vulnerability could allow an unauthorized person to access the instrument and change settings, configurations, or data. This software was distributed in California, Indiana, North Carolina, Oregon, and Tennessee.
A security vulnerability may allow a threat actor to exploit the software and alter sensitive instrument settings or genomic data. This could potentially lead to incorrect sequencing results, affecting patient diagnosis or treatment plans.
