VITROS Chemistry Products LAC Slides on VITROS XT 3400 and VITROS XT 7600 Systems are experiencing an increased occurrence of calibration failure related to lots from coating 0130 and above with Condition Code TH4-63J during calibration, causing the delay of lac test results and potentially impact patient management. The issue was identified by QuidelOrtho through an increase in customer complaints compared to the historical baseline with average failure rate of 1% for coating 0130 in 2025 while average of failure rate for other coating was 0.06% in 2025 and average of failure rate for all coatings is 0.03% for 2024.

Generations 67 and above of VITROS Ca Slides are experiencing an increased occurrence of Condition Code TH4-63J during calibration on VITROS XT 3400 and VITROS XT 7600 Systems, causing calibration failures that delay calcium test results and potentially impact patient management. The imaging reflectometer algorithm detects excessive "spikes" (imperfections) in slide images and generates the TH4-63J condition code when the threshold of 600 spikes is exceeded. Updated analysis revealed a 19-fold increase in failure rates from 0.0043% (2024 baseline) to 0.082% for Generation 67+ slides in 2025, with 100% of calibrator failures occurring at the lowest concentration level. This can result in delayed diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as hypercalcemic crisis, parathyroid disorders, and other calcium-related emergencies requiring urgent intervention.

Quality control (QC) drift when certain lots of Performance Verifiers (PVs) are used with certain lots of cholinesterase enzyme (CHE) slides. This drift occurs when the PVs are used 2-7 days after reconstitution; however, the label stability claims for the PV fluids is 7 days following reconstitution. This may lead to inaccurate QC results. The use of the PVs when the QC results are outside of the customer s established ranges could result in delayed results for patients due to the need to repeat QC testing or reconstitute new PV fluids and repeat testing. It could also result in erroneous patient results (small positive bias).

The reason for this recall is QuidelOrtho has determined that during normal use the VITROS XT ALB-TP Slides may shed dust and debris as they travel through the MicroSlide Subsystem of the VITROS XT 3400 or VITROS XT 7600 analyzer. This dust and debris may then settle onto VITROS Na+ (Sodium) Slides as they are processed through the same MicroSlide Subsystem, potentially resulting in an increase in non-reproducible, positively, or negatively biased Na+ results. The level of bias will depend on where the dust and debris settle on the Na+ MicroSlide and may impact Na+ measurements to varying degrees inside and outside of the measuring range depending on the amount of contamination. All of which could vary from no/low bias with no patient harm, to extreme bias (falsely elevated or reduced results) potentially resulting in incorrect diagnosis; treatment; and/or a serious patient health hazard (for example, hypernatremia or hyponatremia). This issue may also potentially generate error codes preventing the analyzer from processing the MicroSlide Assays and cause delay of the patient results. All current and expired VITROS XT Chemistry Products ALB-TP slides are affected by this issue.

The results generated by the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Vitamin B12 Range Verifier Lot# 1200 RV Level 2 may cause range verification failure. The issue is detectable by the user when the product fails to meet the required range during processing of RV Level 2 of this lot. There is a potential for a delay in patient test results should the user have a need to switch to an alternate method of range verification including use of an alternate lot. As this issue affects the upper limit range verification, there is no impact to VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Vitamin B12 assay performance. Were the assay to not perform as expected, the failure would be detectable by Quality Control. Past patient sample results are unaffected, and no review of reported results is required.

During planned monitoring of data post-release of Software Version 3.8.0 an increased occurrence of software issues relating to unresponsive subsystems, unresponsive user interface (sometimes referred to as a screen freeze), and/or printer disconnections was identified. The consequence of these issues would be a delay in reporting results due to the required system shutdowns to recover the system. This delay in reporting results could occur during any assay, including which the speed of the result is deemed critical or STAT and could result in a delay of treatment in a patient. Due to the release strategy of this software version, the user could not update the system but a field engineer had to manually install each affected system.

Delayed results. Ortho confirmed that two lots of VITROS Black Reference Slides are incorrectly labelled as White Reference Slides. If the customer fails to notice both the product name or the unexpected color of the slides and tries to use Black Reference Slides as White Reference Slides, the Correction Factor test will fail - and the analyzer will not be able to produce results for any assays other than sodium, potassium, and chloride. If the customer doesnt have any White Reference Slides in reserve, they cant run the Correction Factor test correctly and get the analyzer running again until they get more White Reference Slides delivered. This could lead to a delay in results for all Vitros assays except for sodium, potassium, and chloride.
