What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard remains theoretical. Per the severity rubric, risk-of-harm products without reported injury warrant a High severity score.
Plain-English summary
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. is recalling VITROS XT 7600 Integrated Systems (catalog number 6844461) running software versions 3.8.0 or 3.8.1. The recall affects 142 units in the United States and 78 units distributed internationally to 19 countries.
A software defect in these versions causes configurable Westgard quality control rules to fail to be properly flagged or reported when new controls are defined. When quality control statistical criteria are not met, the system does not alert users. This may result in acceptance of quality control results that should have been rejected, potentially leading to erroneous patient test results being reported.
Healthcare facilities using affected VITROS XT 7600 systems should contact Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics for information about this defect and available remediation options.
