Why it was recalled

The recall was initiated because Beckman Coulter has confirmed that the stated stability of the DSL-10-8000 I-PTH ELISA and DSL-8000 I-PTH IRMA assays may not be achieved for the lot numbers affected by the recall. The affected I-PTH ELISA and the I-PTH IRMA kit lots may produce falsely elevated patient results. Internal stability testing showed an average 16% elevation for I-PTH ELISA lot 99

Action the firm took

Beckman Coulter sent an Urgent Product Corrective Action Letter to their consignees dated June 18, 2010. The letter identified the product, the problem, and the action to be taken. Consignees were instructed to: (1) Discontinue use of all materials provided with I-PTH ELISA kit lot number 992751 and I-PTH IRMA lot numbers 090013, 090121, and 090372. (2) Review historical external quality control results to ensure the assay performance of these lots was within laboratory specifications. Retesting may be necessary if their laboratory uses only the Control materials provided with the I-PTH ELISA and IRMA kits. (3) Abnormal elevated patient results that are obtained with these lot numbers and that are inconsistent with the patient's clinical status should be reviewed in the context of other clinical diagnostic tests. (4) I-PTH ELISA kit lot number 992751 and I-PTH IRMA lot numbers 090013, 090121, and 090372 will no longer be shipped. Due to the calibrator instability recently encountered with DSL-10-8000 I-PTH ELISA and DSL-8000 I-PTH IRMA assays, Beckman Coulter has decided to immediately discontinue these two part numbers. Consignees were asked to share this information with their laboratory staff and retain the notification as part of their laboratory Quality System documentation.
