Catheter center lumen was found to have an occlusion in the tip of the catheter; the source of the occlusion an excessive MDX, a silicone-based lubricant which coats the catheter tip. An occluded, partially or fully, and/or uncured or excessive MDX may dislodge from the catheter lead to full catheter obstruction resulting in delay to treatment and partial obstruction resulting in reduced flow, or particulate dislodgement that may result in delay to treatment, hemolysis, embolism/embolus or thrombosis/thrombus

Carryover from the Direct LDL-cholesterol assay on the Rx instruments may result in a negative bias, up to -11%, in quality control and patient samples, in urea assays results if the urea assay is run immediately after the Direct LDL-cholesterol assay. This may lead to a delay in reporting results or in falsely decreased urea test results.
