Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics confirmed over-recovery of samples with concentrations greater than 5.5 ng/mL with the IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 and IMMULITE 2000/IMMULITE 2000 XPi Androstenedione assays (LKAO1, L2KAO2). Siemens has determined that these lots are linear up to a concentration of 5.5 ng/mL, instead of 10 ng/mL as stated in the Instructions for Use (IFU). Quality Control materials at concentrations between 5.5 and 10 ng/mL will detect this issue.

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (OCD) confirmed the potential for lower than expected C-Reactive Protein (CRP) results only to be generated when using VITROS Chemistry Products Specialty Diluent (Lot F3168) or VITROS Chemistry Products FS Diluent Pack 3 (Lot 01-3266). The VITROS Instructions for Use states that if the if a C-reactive protein concentration exceeds the systems measuring (reportable or dynamic) range, dilute the sample with VITROS Specialty Diluent or a patient sample containing a low concentration of CRP. An initial threefold dilution is recommended. Internal testing determined that results using VITROS CRP Slides have the potential for approximately 51% bias using a 3x dilution factor.

Potential safety issue with gradient coil electromechanical connections associated with GE MR Products. Gradient coil electromechanical connections may loosen causing an increase in resistance. The increased resistance can lead to increasing heat during scanning which, in turn, can cause material in the Rear Endbell enclosure to overheat, generate smoke in the scan room, and cause some localize
GE Healthcare has identified a potential safety issue related to the screws that attach the workstation monitor spring arm to the extension arm on certain OEC 9900 systems, causing the spring arm and monitor to fall forward.
