Internal testing had identified a potential breach to the sterile barrier that may impact the sterility of the product.
The ADVIA Chemistry Systems A1c_3 method may exhibit a percent bias of -9% to +11% for hemoglobin (Hb)A1c samples when using A1c_3 Calibrator lots 3HD044 and 3LD068. Depending on quality control limits, this issue may not have been detected. NOTE: The percent bias range is a percentage of the HbA1c result. It is NOT absolute HbA1c units.
These lots of Agar may have exhibited breakthrough growth of vancomycin susceptible Enterococcus species control organisms. Agar that allows susceptible enterococci to grow appears as a falsely resistant culture. If a lab does not QC, the error would be identified as falsely resistant enterococci would have further AST workup. There could be a delay in the identification of false-resistance

It was determined that a potential malfunction may occur on the Luminos dRF system with SW VD10 or on Luminos dRF Max when the table side control is exposed to fluids. Fluid may infiltrate the tableside control panel and result in malfunction. In the very unlikely case of fluid infiltration a permanent short circuit within the control panel of the Luminos dRF / Luminos dRF Max will automatically d

The firm is conducting a field correction for the ADVIA Centaur and ADVIA Centaur XP Immunoassay systems, regarding manually loaded sample racks that are improperly loaded or pushed too far on the sample entry queue during normal operation of the ADVIA Centaur and ADVIA Centaur XP Immunoassay systems. Pushing the sample racks may cause misreads of Sample IDs (SID) if the sample rack loading instructions are not followed exactly as described in the ADVIA Centaur or ADVIA Centaur XP Operators Guide.

It was discovered that during a RAD examination using Siemens Luminos dRF, Ysio or Uroskop Omnia systems with software version VB10C to VB10F and automatic exposure control, a highly unlikely malfunction can result in longer radiation exposure than required. This may also result in an overexposed image that is not of diagnostic quality. As a result the taken examination needs to be repeated. Thi
A software component of the MiSeqDx instrument, called the Illumina Worklist Manager (IWM) v1.0.15, fails to perform as intended
The performance of the assay no longer conforms to this statement in the Analytical Specificity section of the Package Insert: One hundred-eleven (111) out of 111 MSSA strains tested at extremely high concentrations (> 106 CFU/swab), produced negative results with the BD MAX MRSA Assay. One of the samples tested with each of the CAP surveys MRS5-A 2014 and MRS5-B 2014 yielded false positive results.
