What the company is doing

Ortho CLinical issued Urgent Medical Device Correction letter on 19 July 2022 to consignees who received a VITROS XT3400 or a VITROS XT7600 System notified via (CL2020-176) of the issue and instructed to: " If your VITROS XT 3400 and/or VITROS XT 7600 Systems require a system shutdown, routine Quality Control processing for MicroSlide assays must be performed per your laboratory procedure, prior to processing patient samples, to determine if the anomaly has occurred. " If QC results are outside your established ranges, Ortho recommends performing a second system shutdown and re-processing QC fluids for those assays that were outside your established ranges. If QC results are still outside established ranges following a second system shutdown, contact Ortho Care" Technical Solutions Center for guidance. " Ortho recommends using the same vial of QC fluids (where possible) throughout these steps to determine if the anomaly has occurred. Refer to the control storage and stability documentation for fluid stability guidelines once opened or reconstituted. " Post this notification by each VITROS XT 3400 and/or XT 7600 System until this issue is resolved. Ortho is currently investigating this issue; a follow-up communication will be released once our investigation is complete. " Complete the enclosed Confirmation of Receipt no later than July 26, 2022. If you have further questions, please contact Ortho Care" Technical Solutions Center at 1-800-421-3311.
