Siemens Enzyme II Calibrator Recalled for ALTI Result Shifts
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is recalling Enzyme II Calibrators because they may cause patient and QC results to shift by up to 10% on the Dimension clinical chemistry system.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The issue involves a 10% shift in diagnostic results, which is a functional defect rather than a direct physical hazard like injury or death.
Plain-English summary
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc. is recalling 24,940 units of the Enzyme II Calibrator, an in vitro diagnostic product used for the Alanine Aminotransferase (ALTI) assay on the Dimension clinical chemistry system. The product is for prescription use only and was distributed throughout the United States.
The recall was initiated after complaints indicated a positive shift in patient and quality control (QC) results when the ALTI assay was calibrated with the Dimension Enzyme II calibrator. An internal investigation confirmed that patient samples and QC material demonstrated a shift of up to 10% in comparison to results obtained using earlier calibrator lots.
Affected lots include 4MD047, 5CD052, 5FD017, 5GD050, 5HD010, 5JD069, 5LD051, and 6AD054. Healthcare facilities and laboratories should stop using the affected calibrators and contact Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics for further instructions.
