Siemens ADVIA Chemistry Triglycerides Reagent Recalled for Interference
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is recalling ADVIA Chemistry Triglycerides reagents because N-Acetylcysteine and Metamizole can cause falsely depressed test results.
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 II. The hazard involves diagnostic interference leading to inaccurate results rather than direct physical injury or contamination, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.
Plain-English summary
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc. is recalling ADVIA CHEMISTRY TRIGLYCERIDES_2 (TRIG_2) REAGENT and ADVIA CHEMISTRY TRIGLYCERIDES_2 Concentrated (TRIG_c) REAGENT. The recall involves 13,742 units distributed nationwide to various states and territories. The products are identified by Device Listing D126071 (Catalog # 74082) and D211156 (Catalog # 74084).
The recall was initiated because Siemens confirmed that N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) and Metamizole (Dipyrone) can interfere with Trinder and Trinder-like reaction assays. This interference may result in falsely depressed triglyceride test results for patients receiving these medications. NAC is noted as the accepted antidote for acetaminophen toxicity.
Healthcare facilities and laboratories should stop using the affected reagents and contact Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics for instructions on returning the product or obtaining replacements.
