Siemens Immulite 2000 Accessory Kit Recall for Undersized Bottle Openings

Siemens Medical Solutions Diagnostics is recalling Immulite 2000 Accessory Kits because bottle openings may be undersized or deformed, preventing caps from closing securely.

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, and the defect involves a mechanical failure (cap not closing) rather than a direct biological or chemical hazard, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.

Plain-English summary

Siemens Medical Solutions Diagnostics is recalling 962 bottles of Accessory Kits (Catalog #10282965, #10373217, and #10286080) used with Immulite 2000 and Immulite 2000XPi systems. These kits are used for in vitro diagnostic testing on serum, plasma, or urine samples.

The recall is due to a manufacturing quality issue where the smaller diameter opening on the Water Bottles and Liquid Waste Bottles is undersized and/or deformed. This defect prevents the cap from closing or fastening securely to the bottle.

The affected products were distributed worldwide. Users should stop using the affected bottles and contact Siemens Medical Solutions Diagnostics for instructions on how to proceed.
