Facility Critical Temperature Excursions on 08-JAN 2024 in Walk-In refrigerator due to mechanical failures, causing temperatures to fall below the validated range of 35.6 - 46.4 Degrees Fahrenheit (2 - 8 Degrees Celsius) for up to 60 minutes which could increase the probability of an incorrect test result or a delayed test result.

May have increased water path restriction within the heat exchanger, leading to degraded heat exchange performance during use. The reduction of water flow and reduced heat exchange performance may be experienced immediately upon priming or may worsen over the duration of use. The potential harm as stated in the IFU includes hypothermia due to inadequate heat transfer

Non-conformance may prevent the guidewire from passing through the introducer hub during a surgical procedure. The inability of the guidewire to pass through the introducer is due to the presence of voids in the internal lumen of the sheath hub, potential risk of the non-conformance is a delay in procedure, wherein the user may need to exchange the sheath to complete the case

Endotracheal Tube Holder included in certain kits is not compatible with a nasal intubation procedure, leaving practitioners without the necessary means to secure the inserted endotracheal tube.

The firm has realigned C3 and Haptoglobin in Liquid Protein Calibrators, IT2691, to reference material ERM-DA470k/IFCC.

The reason for the recall is that the Siemens DCA HbA1c Reagent Kit was confirmed to display a positive bias without alerting the user. The potential impact of the defect is that erroneous test results could be reported and potentially lead to incorrect patient management of glucose control. A positive bias may be observed with eleven HbA1c affected lots. Positive bias was observed when the performance of these five HbA1c lots was compared to NGSP pooled patient target-value assigned samples and the maximum bias observed was 19%.
