Reason

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (Ortho) identified the potential for positively biased results to occur for serum/plasma and urine samples when using the affected VITROS Na+ Slides. The results may be positively biased and quality control fluids may be outside of the expected ranges. The amount of bias in the VITROS Na+ method is dependent upon multiple sources of variability.

Two separate issues have been identified:

  • VITROS Na+ Slides, gens 8 & 13: positively biased urine sample results
  • VITROS Na+ Slides gens 13, 14, 16, 17 & 18: positively biased serum or plasma sample results
