  • Notas adicionales en la data
    According to manufacturer's information, if the connector tube is cracked and leaking, and the user does not replace the fluid bottles in the yellow warning system and the tank is empty, the system will signal results with an error signal since the fault of acid / base solution is detected. In this case, a limited number of test results processed before the error signal (up to 20 tests) can be affected and not flagged; however, several subsequent signal errors would indicate that a system malfunction has occurred and that the results need to be verified. #### UPDATED ON 08/21/2017, the field action documentations submitted by the company are filed in the area. If necessary, the area can reassess the action at any time.
  • Causa
    As described by the record holder, a problem was found in the fluid reservoir connector tube of the advia centaur and advia centaur xp immunoassay systems. a small break in the plug tube in the reservoir connector may occur due to mechanical stress. breakage may result in minimal dripping over the reservoir or the tray located below the reservoirs. there is a potential for leakage of a minimal amount of fluids out of the system.
  • Acción
    The registration keeper advises customers: 1. Immediately replace the vial for all fluids when the yellow alert appears. This will reduce the possibility of improper dispensing of fluids. 2. Refer to the ADVIA Centaur or ADVIA Centaur XP Operator's Manual for the bottle replacement procedure. 3. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when in contact with any liquid leaking from the system. 4. Examine the system for any fluid in the flask of the vials.
