Affected Products

A. VITROS 250 Chemistry System

B. VITROS 350 Chemistry System

Reason

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics determined that VITROS CK Slides do not meet the current on-analyzer stability time of < 1 week when using VITROS 250 or 350 Systems. An internal investigation has shown that quality control results drifted low (i.e., > 2 within lab Standard Deviations (SD) for VITROS Performance Verifiers) when using cartridges stored on the system for less than 7 days.

This issue is related to the humidity control of Slide Supply 2 on VITROS 250/350 Systems.

Ortho has confirmed that CK results generated using VITROS 4600, 5600, XT 7600 and 5,1 FS Systems are NOT affected by this issue.
