ARCHITECT iGentamicin Reagent Kit - Product Usage: The measurements obtained are used in the diagnosis and treatment of gentamicin overdose and in monitoring levels of gentamicin to help ensure appropriate therapy.

Class I - Dangerous

Abbott identified that samples tested for ARCHITECT STAT High Sensitive Troponin I and STAT High Sensitivity Troponin I assays (LN 3P25 and LN 2R98) may show interaction when processed directly after the ARCHITECT iGentamicin (LN 1P31) assay and patient results might be impacted.

ARCHITECT HAVAB-G Calibrator, REF 6L27-01

Class I - Dangerous

Abbott has identified that Calibrator lot 08219BE00 is potentially impacted by an increase in Relative Light Units (RLUs) up to 94%. It has been confirmed that the increase in the calibrator RLU values may cause a decrease in the control values and patient results. Patient values generated using the impacted calibrator lot 08219BE00 may have changed interpretation from reactive to falsely non reactive. Results impacted may present as a (falsely) non reactive result that fall in the range between 0.50 to 0.99 S/CO.

Alinity c Carbon Dioxide Reagent Kit, Produced for Abbott by Sekisui Diagnostics P.E.I. Inc. Prince Edward Island Canada

Class I - Dangerous

Abbott internal studies have determined that atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO2) can be absorbed into the Alinity c Carbon Dioxide reagent, resulting in the potential for incorrect results. Abbott was made aware of this issue from customer complaints. Internal testing demonstrated that the amount of CO2 absorbed is higher with increased reagent carousel rotation and when the volume of reagent in the cartridge is reduced. This phenomenon can be detected as a shift in QC. The shift is predictive in both direction and magnitude of the potential impact to patient results.

Alinity ci -series System Control¿Module, Part Number 03R70 01 Product Usage: The Alinity ci series System Control Module has a scalable design to provide full integration of clinical chemistry and immunoassay analysis. The Alinity ci series System Control Module includes a clinical chemistry module and an immunoassay module, each performing all sample processing activities, and a system control module to provide a single user friendly interface. Each system can be customized by combining one or more sample processing modules, in multiple configurations, with a system control module to form a single workstation. The Alinity i Processing Module is a fully automated immunoassay analyzer allowing random and continuous access, as well as priority and automated retest processing using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) technology. CMIA technology is used to determine the presence of antigens, antibodies, and analytes in samples.

Class I - Dangerous

Abbott has identified an issue with all on market versions (v2.6.0 and v2.6.1) of Alinity ci series Software where incorrect results may occur after a system Stop due to the Alinity i re use of reaction vessels (RVs). This issue only occurs if the system is transitioned from Processing to Stopped to Idle.

The Alinity ci-series System Control Modules which are configured with Alinity c Processing Modules. The Alinity ci-series Control Module is labeled in part,"* * *Alinity ci-series* * *SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE Product Usage: The Alinity ci series System Control Module has a scalable design to provide full integration of clinical chemistry and immunoassay analysis. The Alinity ci series System Control Module includes a clinical chemistry module and an immunoassay module, each performing all sample processing activities, and a system control module to provide a single user friendly interface. The Alinity c Processing Module is a fully automated chemistry analyzer allowing random and continuous access, as well as priority and automated retest processing using photometric and potentiometric detection technology. The Alinity c Processing Module uses photometric detection technology to measure sample absorbance for the quantification of analyte concentration and uses potentiometric detection technology to measure the electrical potential in a sample. In addition, the Alinity c Processing Module uses an integrated chip technology (ICT) module to measure potentiometric assays (electrolytes).

Class I - Dangerous

All versions of the Alinity ci-series software may not detect an issue on the Alinity c Integrated Chip Technology (ICT) assays, sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), and chloride (Cl-).
