Plain-English summary
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc. is recalling certain IMMULITE 2000 PSA assay units (Catalog Numbers L2KPTS2(D) and L2KPTS6(D)) affecting approximately 7,332 units with nationwide distribution in the US and worldwide distribution.
The IMMULITE 2000 PSA assay is an in vitro diagnostic device used to measure prostate-specific antigen levels for prostate cancer screening and monitoring. The affected devices do not meet the high-dose hook effect performance specification as stated in the Instructions for Use, meaning the assay may not perform correctly when testing samples with very high PSA concentrations.
Patients or healthcare providers who have received results from these devices should consult with their healthcare provider about their test results. Healthcare providers may need to verify results or consider retesting if clinically indicated. Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is assisting customers with affected inventory.
