Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics Recalls VITROS CKMB Slides Due to Incorrect Instructions
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling VITROS CKMB Slides because Spanish and Swedish instructions incorrectly state the assay can be tested with plasma, which could result in biased 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, and the hazard involves a labeling error that could lead to biased results, fitting the criteria for moderate severity without reported injuries or hospitalizations.
Plain-English summary
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling VITROS Chemistry Products CKMB Slides, Product Code 805 8232-300, UDI Number 10758750004294. The recall involves slides that expire after July 20, 2018, and are within their current expiry date. These products were distributed nationwide in the United States.
The recall was initiated because the Spanish and Swedish language versions of the Instructions for Use (IFU) incorrectly state that the assay can be tested with plasma. This statement is false and could result in biased test results. The VITROS Chemistry Product Slides are used to measure creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) activity in serum, which was historically ordered to detect Myocardial Infarction.
No specific number of affected units or reported injuries is provided in the source text. Users of these products should verify the language of the instructions and consult the manufacturer for guidance on proper usage to ensure accurate testing.
