Recalls for Phosphomolybdate (colorimetric), Inorganic Phosphorus

Specific SYNCHRON Systems Modular Chemistry Phosphorus (PHOSm REF 467868) reagent lots may fail calibration before the lot expiration date which causes a delay in obtaining patient results.

transit delays of certain cold chain products due to severe thunderstorms which may caused the products to be stored outside the recommended labeled storage conditions. This failure could increase the probability of an incorrect test result or a delayed test result.

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics is recalling Slide Dispense cartridges used with some VITROS Chemistry Product Slides due to slide dispense issues.

Reagent lots 64736UN12, 03991UN13, 51611UN13, 74805UN12, and 03992UN13 have incorrect expiration dates assigned by Supplier.

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has initiated a voluntary field action for Dimension(R) PHOS Flex(R) Reagent due to reagent interaction causing falsely depressed Creatinine results when EZCR is processed from open wells that are in close proximity to open wells of PHOS reagent.

Inorganic phosphorus assays using System Diluent Lot 155599 may not product acceptable calibration results.

Product may give inaccurate results and aspiration errors with reagent configuration, including results outside of linear range & calibration failure.

Patient results are falsely decreased by up to 15% at these levels: 1) Serum Plasma phosphorus greater than 8.0 mg/dL (2.60 mmol/L) 2) Urine phosphorus greater than 80.0 mg/dL (25.80 mmol/L)
