Recalled Products

  1. Architect 25-OH Vitamin D

Reason

Abbott has confirmed that the Architect 25-OH Vitamin D Assay has the potential to generate falsely elevated or falsely depressed results when the assay is used with various Architect Reaction Vessel (RV) (ln 7C15-01) lots. The issue is due to an interaction between the Architect 25-OH Vitamin D Assay and the resin lots used to produce the impacted RV lots. Patient results can be affected if the impacted RV lots are mixed with non-impacted RV lots in the Architect Hopper and used to test Architect 25-OH Vitamin D. There is no product performance issue with the Architect 25-OH Vitamin D Assay when using non-impacted RV lots.
