Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics Recalls

Hazard: Software anomaly allows testing of multiple assays using a single urine specimen, regardless of the pretreatment requirements for each selected assay, potentially leading to biased patient results.

Hazard: Software anomaly regarding urine samples that require acidified pretreatment. The software has allowed urine samples for assays that require acidified pretreatment to be metered from the same sample container as assays that required no pretreatment when the sample was programmed.

Hazard: Recapper Caps may fall off of, or be knocked from sample tubes placed in the storage racks of entry/exit modules. The gripper may grab a tube at the wrong height and drop the tube in the Rack Entry/Exit or Rack Exit module. These situations may result in splashing of bio-hazardous fluid. Sample cross-contamination may occur with an uncapped tube in the rack.

Hazard: The Immunodiagnostic Products Signal Reagent, Lot 3082 as the reagent packs may contain blank labels.

Hazard: Software Anomaly; It is possible for the device to process samples with a cartridge other than the intended cartridge, potentially leading to erroneous patient results. If this anomaly occurred previously, an indication would be a series of results that were similar across multiple samples (i.e., results could be believable or outside of the Reportable Range for the intended assay).

Hazard: In combination with the Batch Programming option (only) for programming samples, the hand-held barcode scanner unexpectedly skips sample cup positions within a sample tray. This issue only occurs when using the Batch Programming option; all other sample programming options function as intended.

Hazard: Calibration may not occur when using calibrator barcode labels supplied with VITROS Chemisty Products Calibrator Kit 2.

Hazard: Software Anomaly: the firm has identified an anomaly with VITROS System Software Version 3.1 and below, and determined that the software may not properly identify an expired calibration.

Hazard: Potential for biased results using the specific lot of VITROS CHEMISTRY PRODUCTS TRIG slides.

Hazard: Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (OCD) identified an anomaly with Software Version 3.0 and below on the VITROS 4600 Chemistry Systems and VITROS Integrated Systems. Internal testing confirmed that when using calibrator barcode labels supplied with VITROS Chemistry Products Calibrator Kits 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 9, an unexpected assay calibration may occur if assay targets are unassigned (i.e., hidden).

Hazard: Ortho Clinical Diagnostics identified a potential for biased results to be generated when using VITROS PHYT Slides, Lot 2613-0150-4913. Some positively biased results were identified during testing of a different VITROS PHYT Slide lot; the affected slides were not released for distribution. Since Lot 2613-0150-4913 was manufactured in the same event, there is the potential for slides from this lot to also be affected.

Hazard: VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-HCV kit lot 9090 has been observed producing sporadic lower than expected VITROS Anti-HCV test results due to an approximate signal loss of up to 66.2% which can result in unexpected negative test results being obtained for reactive sample fluids (quality control and patient samples).

Hazard: Inability to calibrate or use VITROS NH3 DT Slides, GEN 59 with VITROS Chemistry Products DT Calibrator Kit, Lot 44 when CDM PROM 0168 or 0169 is installed on VITROS DT60/DT60 II Chemistry Systems.

Hazard: Customers may receive positively biased results when using VITROS¿ Immunodiagnostic Products CA 19-9 Total Reagent Packs, Lot 1320 and VITROS¿ CA 19-9 Calibrators, Lot 1320 on the VITROS ECi/ECiQ Immunodiagnostic Systems, the VITROS 3600 Immunodiagnostic System and the VITROS 5600 Integrated System. There is an unexpected observed change in CA 19-9 Calibrators, Lot 1320 calibrator values.

Hazard: Ortho Clinical Diagnostics has identified an anomaly with VITROS System Software Version 3.0 and below. Internal testing confirmed that under very specific conditions, incorrect patient demographics were associated with a sample identification (ID) number.

Hazard: Calibrator values assigned for the calibrator kit lots were released using a reference method that was undergoing validation for a new lot of European Reference Material (ERM). The validation process was not complete prior to calibrator value assignment for VITROS (R) Chemistry Products hsCRP Reagent (Product Code 6801739), Generation (GEN) 28.

Hazard: Software anomaly: potential buffer timeout issues when using enGen (TM) Laboratory Automation Systems Configured with TCAutomation (TM) Software v3.5.

Hazard: Software anomaly: potential for delay in the reporting of patient sample test results when using enGen with TCAutomation Software v2.6 , v3.2 and v3.5 Configured with Bypass Modules for ADVIA Centaur, Abbott Architect, VITROS and/or Tosoh AIA Systems.

Hazard: Potential for biased results when a Multiple Window (MW) code is associated with results generated by the VITROS 4600 Chemistry System, the VITROS 5600 Integrated System and the VITROS 5,1 Chemistry System. MW codes may be associated with results from any of the following VITROS Chemistry Products using multiple point (multipoint) rate measurements. The MicroSlide assays that could be affected

Hazard: Software Anomaly: Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (OCD) has become aware that if a sample requires follow-up action, such as dilution or retesting due to a mechanical issue, it is possible for that sample to be routed to the sample storage drawer (Storage) prior to the completion of the necessary pending action. A delay in patient test result(s) reporting could occur as operator is not alerted that results have not been produced and that further actions are required.

Hazard: Total T4 Calibrators and Reagent Packs may have calibration failures or low Quality Control results.
