Siemens ADVIA Centaur BR Assay: Catalog Number: US: REF 02419937 (10214722) (50 Tests); REF 03896216(10334837)(250 Tests) Not CE Marked; OUS: REF03204829(10310271)(50 Tests); REF 01157807(1 0314722) (250 Tests) CE Marked; REF 09010686 (10340081)(250 Tests). The ADVIA Centaur BR assay is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative serial determination of cancer antigen CA 27.29 in human serum using the ADVIA Centaur and ADVIA Centaur XP systems. The test is intended for use as an aid in monitoring patients previously treated for Stage II or Stage Ill breast cancer. Serial testing for CA 27.29 in the serum of patients who are clinically free of disease should be used in conjunction with other clinical methods used for the early detection of cancer recurrence. The test is also intended for use as an aid in the management of breast cancer patients with metastatic disease by monitoring the progression or regression of disease in response to treatment.

Siemens Dimension Tacrolimus Flex Reagent Cartridge (TAC), REF DF207, SMN 10700795; enzyme immunoassay
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics
A potential positive bias in quality control (QC) and patient sample results in three lots of the Dimension Tacrolimus (TAC) Flex reagent cartridge.
Dimension Creatinine Flex reagent cartridge. Material Number: 10872079.
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is recalling certain lots of Dimension Creatinine Flex reagent cartridge (Dimension CRE2) because a potential imprecision in the Dimension CRE2 quality control (QC) and patient sample results using lot numbers GA6307 and BA7005 on the Dimension System. This imprecision may lead to erroneously decreased or increased creatinine patient results
Atellica CH Enzymatic Hemoglobin A1c (A1c_E); Siemens Material Number (SMN): 11097536;
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics
A potential for depressed results for Atellica CH A1c_E when processing Atellica CH RCRP on the same analyzer. Customers processing A1c_E and RCRP on separate analyzers are not impacted by the recall. The frequency and magnitude of the negative bias and imprecision increase over time and are not consistent with the assay Instructions For Use (IFU). When this issue is present, Quality Control (QC) results demonstrate a negative trend and increased imprecision. The clinical impact of a negative (A1c_E) bias may lead to a delay in diagnosis for diabetes or lead to less-than-optimal treatment for existing diabetes.
