Generations 67 and above of VITROS Ca Slides are experiencing an increased occurrence of Condition Code TH4-63J during calibration on VITROS XT 3400 and VITROS XT 7600 Systems, causing calibration failures that delay calcium test results and potentially impact patient management. The imaging reflectometer algorithm detects excessive "spikes" (imperfections) in slide images and generates the TH4-63J condition code when the threshold of 600 spikes is exceeded. Updated analysis revealed a 19-fold increase in failure rates from 0.0043% (2024 baseline) to 0.082% for Generation 67+ slides in 2025, with 100% of calibrator failures occurring at the lowest concentration level. This can result in delayed diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as hypercalcemic crisis, parathyroid disorders, and other calcium-related emergencies requiring urgent intervention.

A CUSTOMER CONTACTED THE ORTHO CLINICAL DIAGNOSTICS (ORTHO) TECHNICAL SOLUTION CENTER (TSC) TO REPORT A LOWER THAN EXPECTED VITROS CALCIUM (CA) RESULT WAS OBTAINED FROM A SINGLE QUALITY CONTROL LEVEL PROCESSED ON A VITROS XT 7600 INTEGRATED SYSTEM. BIORAD MULTIQUAL LEVEL 3 LOT 56760 RESULT OF 7.8 MG/DL VS THE EXPECTED RESULT OF 12.22 MG/DL BIASED RESULTS OF THE MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION OBSERVED MAY LEAD TO INAPPROPRIATE PHYSICIAN ACTION IF THEY WERE TO OCCUR UNDETECTED. TWENTY-FOUR PATIENT SAMPLES WERE PROCESSED DURING THE TIMEFRAME OF THE EVENT AND GENERATED NEGATIVELY BIASED VITROS CA RESULTS. NONE OF THE NEGATIVELY BIASED RESULTS WERE REPORTED OUTSIDE OF THE LABORATORY. ALL 24 SAMPLES WERE RETESTED USING A SLIDE CARTRIDGE OTHER THAN THE AFFECTED CARTRIDGE, AND THE CUSTOMER CONSIDERED THE REPEAT RESULTS TO BE THE EXPECTED RESULTS FOR THE SAMPLES. THE CUSTOMER DID NOT PROVIDE ANY SPECIFIC DATA CONCERNING THE 24 AFFECTED SAMPLES. THERE WERE NO ALLEGATIONS OF PATIENT HARM AS A RESULT OF THIS EVENT. THIS REPORT CORRESPONDS TO ORTHO CLINICAL DIAGNOSTICS INC (ORTHO) COMPLAINT NUMBER (B)(4) AND REPORTABILITY ASSESSMENT (B)(4).
