REASON There is an error in Version 1.0.77 of the electronic code compendium (ERIC) software. The error is limited to the database corresponding to the R8311007 RapID Yeast Plus System. The database erroneously includes Candida dubliniensis as well as displays an incorrect temperature range as an accessory test for codes with an overlap between Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis. When using the RapID Yeast Plus panel, selecting "Display All Accessory Tests" indicated Growth at 37 o C for Candida albicans vs "No Growth" for Candida dubliniensis. The appropriate temperature range for resolving this overlap is 42-45 o C, at which C. albicans should exhibit growth but C. dubliniensis should not. The Instructions for Use for the RapID Yeast Plus System have recently been revised to address the biochemical similarities between these two species and indicates the correct methods to help distinguish between them. A software patch has been issued to modify the RapID Yeast Plus Database file. The patch is downloadable and will delete all data and references related to Candida dubiniensis from the database.
