Calibration Buttons being used in the kitting process were incorrectly labeled as Lot 2323M for lot 2333M. The use of mislabeled calibration Button with Lot #2333 can lead to delayed or erroneous high or erroneous low results.

During an internal audit a small percentage (<10%) of plastic caps used to close the treatment reagent tubes were found to not meet the minimum dimensional lip requirement and may have inadequate cap-to-tube seals. Manufacturing with these caps may result in cap-to-tube seals that allow leaking of HCl or may result in cap-to-tube seals that allow evaporation of treatment reagent. The consequence of this would be a change in the volume of treatment reagent and a change in the ratios of either added patient sample or control material to treatment reagent. The result of this might be a falsely elevated result (e.g., a patient false positive [PATFP] result or a Controls Out of Range-High [COOR-Hi] result).
Magellan has received reports that control tests of either the Low-Control and/or the High-Control generated a low result. The issue may cause the underestimation of blood lead levels in patient samples.

Defect with the calibration button for lot 1808M. Level 1 and Level 2 Quality Control (QC) values will generate results of HIGH (>65 ¿g/dL). Results for patient testing with this lot will be displayed as HIGH.
The incorrect placement of AA batteries into certain LeadCare II Blood Lead Analyzer may cause the batteries to overheat, and the chance that a user could burn their fingers if the batteries are removed while hot.
The incorrect placement of AA batteries into certain LeadCare Plus Blood Lead Analyzer may cause the batteries to overheat, and the chance that a user could burn their fingers if the batteries are removed while hot.

LeadCare Plus and LeadCare Ultra Blood Lead Testing Systems may generate falsely low lead concentrations in some blood samples. The issue is observed when blood samples are collected in tubes with lavender and tan rubber stoppers of the Becton Dickinson EDTA Vacutainer tubes, a collection device used with the testing system.
