FDA recall Z-3043-2018

Product

VITROS Chemistry Products Cl- Slides, Product Code 844 5207 Product Usage: For in vitro diagnostic use only. VITROS Chemistry Products Cl- Slides quantitatively measure chloride (Cl-) concentration in serum and plasma using VITROS 250/350/5,1 FS and 4600 Chemistry Systems and the VITROS 5600 Integrated System.

Reason for recall

The slides do not meet the maximum allowable interference (MAI) claims for triglyceride interference when using serum samples. Triglyceride interference on the Cl- Slide was observed around a triglyceride concentration 600mg/dL, however the current triglyceride interference claim states interference should not occur below 800mg/dL of triglyceride.
