  • Acción
    Abbott Laboratories issued a Product Correction letters dated September 13 and 15, 2010 to all customers that received ARCHITECT iVancomycin reagents in the last 12 months. In the September 13, 2010 letter, the accounts were informed of the falsely elevated results and were instructed to continue to follow all sample handling instruction in the package insert and to take the following additional actions to mitigate the risk of obtaining an incorrect result: 1. After following the primary tube manufacturer's recommended centrifugation instructions transfer serum or plasma for all specimens to a microcentrifuge tube for centrifugation at 150,000-300,000 g-minutes, following centrifugation guidelines in the chart in the letter. 2. Prior to testing, transfer the serum or plasma to a sample cup or secondary tube for testing. Care must be taken to transfer only the clarified specimen and not the lipemic material or pellet. The accounts were also requested to complete and fax back to Abbott the enclosed customer reply sheet, acknowledging the receipt and understanding of the recall. On September 15, 2010, Abbott discovered that the calculation for the determination of RCF (xg) given in the September 13, 2010 letter was incorrect. Incorrect Calculation previously provided: Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) = 0.0000118 x rotational radius in centimeters x RPM2 Correct Calculation within revised letter: Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) = 0.00001118 x rotational radius in centimeters x RPM2 Abbott stopped distribution of the previous letter and initiated redistribution of the revised letter to all impacted customers, globally, on September 15, 2010. Additionally, all customers which had already received the initial letter were sent a cover letter identifying the error. Customers can contact Abbott at 1-877-422688 about this action.

  • Comentario del fabricante
    “We are in constant communication with regulatory agencies and competent authorities worldwide which allows us to implement global recalls or in-country communication quickly and effectively,” Abbott, which now owns St. Jude Medical told ICIJ in a statement. In addition to sending global notices to physicians worldwide, we also make sure that product advisories are available online and classification of product recalls and product advisories are determined by global regulatory bodies which can impact the timing in any given country. MD companies follow varying regulations in different countries. In come countries software is not regulated so a recall in one country related to software would not be classified as a recall or field action in another. In addition, review cycles within the regulatory process can be different in each country which can impact communication and recall timing.
