PSA assay is not meeting the High Dose Hook Effect expectation in the Instructions for Use (IFU).
Failure of the primary collimator may result in unintentional movement of the device. The unintentional movement will not result in the generation of an error message.
One lot each of SPOTCHEM II Basic PANEL-1 Reagent Test Strip and SPOTCHEM II Glucose Reagent Test Strip are being recalled due to a lowered reaction rate in the reagent pad for glucose. The affected lots will display a result of approximately 300 to 400 mg/dL for any glucose value that exceeds the upper limit of 416 mg/dL.

A possible malfunction where a Short-term Battery Error message has appeared and has been traced back to a bad (damaged) Lithium-Ion capacitor (Short-term Backup battery).
Batteries found unresponsive after storage, not recognized by main device, and are perpetually enabled.
The firm's investigation of the Medrad Intego indicates that the inner diameter of the saline tubing is out of specification and may result in the system failing to position the dose correctly during extraction, potentially leading to a low measurement of the extracted dose or to a higher dose being extracted. The occluded SAS tubing may impair the priming function and prompt an RP prime fail
The attachment of the NuCART Spring Arm to the NuCART horizontal boom may come apart if the securing ring (snap ring) was not installed correctly causing the spring arm to release and detach.
Software anomaly may allow VITROS Systems to sample and process assays while the fluids and reagent temperatures are not in the required temperature range for optimal processing. When this intermittent issue occurs, the VITROS Systems continue to operate and process results without notification to the User, possibly producing erroneous results.
