  • Causa
    Amended reason for recall: the piperacillin/tazobactam drug on the antimicrobial susceptibility cards is providing false susceptible and false resistant results for e. coli, as well as an additional 7 organisms; and the same drug is providing false resistant results for k. pneumoniae.

    bioMerieux issued a "Product Correction Notice" letter dated September 13, 2010, to their entire customer base (regardless of whether they ever ordered the recalled cards). The letters explained the reason for the recall and instructed the account to confirm all results for E. coli using a second method, and for K. pneumoniae, to confirm with a second method only for resistant results. These alternate test confirmations are to continue until further notice. The customers were to complete and return the enclosed Acknowledgement Form via fax at (314) 731-8689 or (919) 620-6350 which indicate that the notice has been read, the instructions provided in the "Actions Required" section were followed, and notes if they have received any reports of illness or injury related to this issue. All future shipments will include an orange multilanguage insert to go into the boxes reminding customers they must perform an alternate test for TZP/E. coli combinations and that customers must also perform an alternate method prior to reporting TZP results when a resistant result is obtained for the TZP/K. pneumoniae. Additionally, this recall letter will accompany shipments of instrument software kits for the new customers. The recalling firm issued a press release on 10/27/10 via the Associated Press notifying the public of the recall. The recalling firm expanded their recall to add 7 more organisms to the list of organism testing that were to be suppressed. As a result the recalling firm issued a letter dated 3/30/11 via Fed Ex on 4/4/11 flagged "URGENT PRODUCT CORRECTION NOTICE (EXPANDED RECALL), VITEK 2 Piperacillin/Tazobactam Test, Document #9300786." The letter describes the issues, how the issues impact the test results, describes the product changes that are going to take place, and provides instructions on required actions to be taken. The product changes will involve the eventual changeover to new cards that will be created which do not contain Piperacillin/Taz

    bioMerieux issued a "Product Correction Notice" letter dated September 13, 2010, to their entire customer base (regardless of whether they ever ordered the recalled cards). The letters explained the reason for the recall and instructed the account to confirm all results for E. coli using a second method, and for K. pneumoniae, to confirm with a second method only for resistant results. These alternate test confirmations are to continue until further notice. The customers were to complete and return the enclosed Acknowledgement Form via fax at (314) 731-8689 or (919) 620-6350 which indicate that the notice has been read, the instructions provided in the "Actions Required" section were followed, and notes if they have received any reports of illness or injury related to this issue. All future shipments will include an orange multilanguage insert to go into the boxes reminding customers they must perform an alternate test for TZP/E. coli combinations and that customers must also perform an alternate method prior to reporting TZP results when a resistant result is obtained for the TZP/K. pneumoniae.

    The firm, Beckman Coulter, sent an "URGENT: PRODUCT CORRECTIVE ACTION (PCA)" letter dated October 18, 2010, with attached PCA Response Form (via US Postal Service for US Customers) to all customers who purchased the Access Immunoassay Systems Thyroglobulin. The letter describes the product, problem and actions to be taken. The customers were instructed to: 1. Do not dilute elevated thyroglobulin samples with Wash Buffer II. 2. Do not run thyroglobulin patient samples using the onboard dilution feature on the UniCel DxI instrument. 3. Dilute elevated thyroglobulin samples only with Access Thyroglobulin Sample Diluent (REF 33866). 4. Review your patient result archives. Manually dilute and repeat the analysis of all elevated thyroglobulin samples that had previously been diluted with Wash Buffer II, using Access Thyroglobulin Sample Diluent instead. 5. A forthcoming version of the UniCel DxI Assay Protocol File (APF) will remove the Access Thyroglobulin onboard dilution assay (dTg) from the list of available onboard dilution assays. 6. The Access Tg product Instructions for Use will be updated to eliminate Wash Buffer II as an acceptable diluent for elevated thyroglobulin samples. Customers should update procedure manuals and other documents that your laboratory may have created which list Wash Buffer II as an acceptable diluent for elevated thyroglobulin samples. In addition, customers were instructed to complete and return the enclosed PCA Response Form with in 10 days via fax to: 786-639-4000 or mail to: Beckman Coulter, Inc., 1000 Lake Hazeltine Drive, Chaska, MN 55318, Attn: Regulatory Affairs.

    System, test, automated, antimicrobial susceptibility, short incubation - Product Code LON
  • Causa
    Amended reason for recall: the piperacillin/tazobactam drug on the antimicrobial susceptibility cards is providing false susceptible and false resistant results for e. coli, as well as an additional 7 organisms; and the same drug is providing false resistant results for k. pneumoniae.
  • Acción
    bioMerieux issued a "Product Correction Notice" letter dated September 13, 2010, to their entire customer base (regardless of whether they ever ordered the recalled cards). The letters explained the reason for the recall and instructed the account to confirm all results for E. coli using a second method, and for K. pneumoniae, to confirm with a second method only for resistant results. These alternate test confirmations are to continue until further notice. The customers were to complete and return the enclosed Acknowledgement Form via fax at (314) 731-8689 or (919) 620-6350 which indicate that the notice has been read, the instructions provided in the "Actions Required" section were followed, and notes if they have received any reports of illness or injury related to this issue. All future shipments will include an orange multilanguage insert to go into the boxes reminding customers they must perform an alternate test for TZP/E. coli combinations and that customers must also perform an alternate method prior to reporting TZP results when a resistant result is obtained for the TZP/K. pneumoniae. Additionally, this recall letter will accompany shipments of instrument software kits for the new customers. The recalling firm issued a press release on 10/27/10 via the Associated Press notifying the public of the recall. The recalling firm expanded their recall to add 7 more organisms to the list of organism testing that were to be suppressed. As a result the recalling firm issued a letter dated 3/30/11 via Fed Ex on 4/4/11 flagged "URGENT PRODUCT CORRECTION NOTICE (EXPANDED RECALL), VITEK 2 Piperacillin/Tazobactam Test, Document #9300786." The letter describes the issues, how the issues impact the test results, describes the product changes that are going to take place, and provides instructions on required actions to be taken. The product changes will involve the eventual changeover to new cards that will be created which do not contain Piperacillin/Taz

    Reagents - Product Code LGD
  • Causa
    Failure of the axsym instrument to open (actuate) some reagent packs from certain lots. the defects can result in probe crashes if not detected prior to placement of the reagent kit on the axym instrument.
  • Acción
    Abbott initiated a field correction recall by letter dated 4/23/07 to all customers receiving the affected reagents. The accounts were informed of the failure of the AxSYM to open (actuate) some reagent packs with the affected lots. The accounts were requested to inspect each reagent pack for broken or improperly sealed caps; manually open each bottle to ensure the flipper bar raises the reagent cap correctly; close each flipper bar prior to loading the reagent pack on the instrument; and discard any reagent packs that do not open properly. If the user observes a probe crash, prior to testing samples again, the user must perform a probe crash recovery following the procedure in the Operations Manual. If necessary, they need to replace the probe. If a probe crash recovery is not performed, subsequent results may be impacted. The customers were requested to retain a copy of the letter for their records. Customers requiring additional information were directed to contact Abbott Customer Service at 1-877-422-2688.
