Reason

Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, inc. (ortho) initiated this urgent product correction notification due to the need to clarify operator actions following U90-382 or 6LU condition codes generated by the systems affected by this recall. U90-382 or 6LU condition codes are associated with wash errors that may occur when using VITROS chemistry products for Immuno-Rate assays (i.e. VITROS, CRBM, CRP, DGXN, and PHYT slides).  If a U90-382 or 6LU condition code (i.e., associated with a wash error) occurs, the condition code text located on the VITROS system and other user documentation indicates to dilute the sample. However, dilution may not be the appropriate action for all scenarios.
