Reason

Under specific scenarios, a software anomaly will occur causing the VITROS Systems to incorrectly determine the reagent's on-analyzer stability time. When the anomaly occurs, the system could use reagents past their on-analyzer stability time without alerting the user with a condition code or flagging the associated results with an RE (Reagent Expired) code. In the event reagents are used beyond their specific on-analyzer stability times, the associated test results may be affected.
