Action the firm took

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics issued on 20 May 2020, Customer letter (Ref. CL2020-126) sent via FedEx overnight courier and/ or ORTHO PLUS e-Communications and/ or US Postal Service Priority Mail (for PO Boxes only) to all VITROS 3600, 5600 and XT7600 . Letter states reason for recall, health risk, and action to take: In the meantime, manually adding the values in both the serum screen AND the plasma screen (even though the plasma screen appears to be updated already) will prevent the issue by correctly marking the edits to both body fluids with M1. To manually enter these values for Plasma in Options & Configurations: navigate to Plasma, select the assay, select Review/Edit Configuration, edit Qualitative fields to match Serum. If it appears they currently match, retype at least one of the changes, then touch Save. Once the Qualitative Range values have been updated, load an ADD using Retain Configuration. Verify that both Serum and Plasma values match the intended modifications. This indicates that the modifications were marked with a M1 code and will continue to be retained when that option is used during future ADD loads. " A review of previously reported patient results is recommended if you identify an assay modification in which Serum and Plasma do not match. Review Plasma sample results for these assays versus your intended thresholds. Note: if your VITROS System is connected via e-connectivity, the Ortho Care Technical Solutions Center can assist you with obtaining your patient results from the past 90 days. " If you believe this software anomaly has affected sample results in your laboratory, please contact Ortho Care Technical Solutions Center. " Complete the Confirmation of Receipt form Foreign affiliates were informed by email approximately on 20 May 2020 of the issue and instructed to notify their consignees of the issue and required actions until the software mitigation is available.
