An incorrect sterility status on the label, non-sterile products labeled as sterile
The company received a customer complaint for the inability to calibrate VITROS Chemistry Products dLDL Reagent when using VITROS FS Calibrator 1, Lot 91461 and ADD (DRV 5908). Assay Data Disk (ADD) DRV versions 5904, 5905, 5906, 5907, 5908, 5909, and 5910 are all affected by this issue.
The Celerity ECG Cable Accessory Pack has the potential to contain an ECG Clip Cable that was not properly manufactured. The affected product is not soldered per specification, and may result in the device not properly conducting the ECG signal.
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has determined that Dimension Vista AMM (K3119) Flex reagent cartridge flex lots 16187BE, 16225BB, 16265AB do not meet the 60-day calibration interval claim due to reagent instability and results may show an Abnormal Assay.
Bayer has determined that all current Source Administration Sets (SAS) used with the Medrad Intego Pet Infusion System may produce particulates in radiopharmaceutical (RP) vials when the needle is inserted.
Negative bias results with the IMMULITE¿ /IMMULITE¿ 1000 Third Generation PSA (prostate-specific antigen) kit was confirmed for two lots (D0119 and D0120). The investigation by Siemens has confirmed that patient samples exhibit an average negative bias of approximately -22% with a range of -16% to -27% for samples recovering from 0.08 to 16.2 ng/mL.
Labeling error: The label indicates the product is latex free, but the headband component included with the forehead sensor does contain latex.
There is a potential for biased results to be generated over the 10 day on-analyzer storage limit when using VITROS Na+ Slide cartridges warmed at room temperature and loaded onto the analyzer after using the minimum warm up requirements stated in the IFU. If Quality Control (QC) results are within acceptable limits, reported results are acceptable and were not affected by this issue.

Software error. Potential for incorrect results
Tina-quant Cardiac C-reactive Protein (Latex) High Sensitive (CRPHS) lot number 604450 (catalog number 11972855216) shows an under-recovery of up to -25% at concentrations below 5 mg/L on the MODULAR ANALYTICS P module. this issue can lead to erroneous low CRPHS results. CRPHS is used as a marker for the prediction of cardiovascular risk. An erroneous low result could lead to an incorrect cardiovascular risk assessment and subsequent delay of further examination.
Mallinckrodt discovered that some devices may have been manufactured with an out-of-tolerance manometer which can result in in an inaccurate proportional valve calibration table in an affected device.
Merge Healthcare
There is a potential connection issue when powering up the Merge Hemo Record Station and the Hemo Monitor does not communicate with the Client PC.
Software error. Potential for incorrect results
under specific settings, an issue may occur during simultaneous Sensor Cartridge and Fluid Pack change on the cobas b 123 <2> POC system and cobas b 123 <4> POC system. The issue occurs when the software function [AutoQC as follow-up] is configured to run all three levels of AutoQC only after a Fluid Pack change, but not after a Sensor Cartridge change. When both are changed simultaneously, starting with the Sensor Cartridge and followed by the Fluid Pack, the analyzer carries out only the follow-up actions associated with the Sensor Cartridge change after completing the change workflow. As a result, no follow-up AutoQC is performed and the three expected AutoQC measurements for the Fluid Pack change are not carried out. Without running quality control, there is a remote possibility that system issues would not be detected and wrong results would not be excluded on all parameters: pH, PO2, PCO2, Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, Glu, Lac, Hct, SO2, O2Hb, COHb, MetHb, HHb, and Bili.
AutoDELFIA System with Version 3.0 Software: Potential plate loading failures
Sekisui Diagnostics P.E.I.
Certain lots are showing an atypical decrease in optical density (OD) over time, which may result in an impact to performance at the high end of the linear range.
AutoDELFIA System with Version 3.0 Software: Potential plate loading failures
Product resistance has fallen outside of label claim within expiry.
