According to the firm carry over was observed when the Lipase test is run directly before or after the LDL and Triglycerides assays. Customers are instructed to amend the running order for all instruments using these reagents to ensure Lipase is not place directly before or after LDL or Triglycerides. A correction was made to the IFU for the Lipase assay and all customers who purchased the Lipase kit in the USA were contacted with the updated instruction.
Class I - Dangerous
Ortho Clinical Diagnostics confirmed that N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), a drug used for acetaminophen overdose, mucolytic therapy and is used as nutritional supplement, can interfere with VITROS GLU, LAC, TRIG, and URIC Slides assays. Ortho also tested several compounds following industry standard CLSI EP7-A2 for potential interference on VITROS GLU Slides during validation testing for a proposed change and confirmed Dextran 40 and Glutathione may interfere with current VITROS GLU Slides.
