Radioimmunoassay, Total Triiodothyronine

VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Free T3 Reagent Pack-IVD is for the quantitative measurement of free triiodothyronine (FT3) in human serum and plasma (EDTA or

T3 Reagent Packs used with Free T3 Calibrators may produce positively biased results for patient and quality control samples. The positive bias may cause erroneous patient results or a delay in testing that may impact patient management, clinical assessment, and the results of other thyroid function tests.

Beckman Coulter Access Free T3, Triiodothyronine, Free, Catalog #A13422, each box contains 2 reagent packs.

The reagent lot produces elevated results (approximately >30%) in some (15-20%)patient samples that do not correlate with the results of other thyroid markers nor Free T3 results generated on other platforms. This introduces a risk of the positive bias not being detected by QC with the potential that clinical correlation with other thyroid function tests will be inconsistent requiring additional testing; however the clinical assessment and treatment decisions are not made in isolation on a single test result especially, in the setting of thyroid function testing. False positive test results could lead to a euthyroid patient being interpreted clinically as having elevated thyroid function (hyperthyroid) or a hypothyroid patient being within the normal range. Such misdiagnoses may lead to inappropriate treatment of a euthyroid patient with anti-thyroid medications or hypothyroid patient not getting sufficient treatment since their free T3 test result demonstrates them to be in the euthyroid range.

Beckman Coulter Access Immunoassay Systems, Access Free T3 Triiodothyronine, REF A13422 (UDI: 15099590201661) for use with the Access Family of Immunoassay Sys

The recalling firm characterized the potential interference effects of biotin (up to 1,200 ng/mL) on all biotin-mediated Access assays. The following six assays: Free T3-REF A13422, Total T3-REF 33830, Free T4-REF 33880, GI Mon-387687, Tg-REF 33860, and TgAbII-REF A32898 displayed significant interference (defined as a result bias greater than +/-10%) at 1,200 ng/mL of biotin.

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics confirmed customer complaints regarding an increase in the number of euthyroid patients (those with normal function of the thyroid) demonstrating values above the recommended normal range as published in the Instructions For Use for the IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 and/or IMMULITE 2000/IMMULITE 2000 XPi for several lots of Free T3 kits. A positive bias in quality control results was also observed, but the values may remain within the established ranges.
