What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: Risk-of-harm product: the manufacturer states the drift could result in erroneous patient results, with no patient harm reported in the source.
Plain-English summary
VITROS Chemistry Products CHE Slides, catalog numbers 191 4605 (300 slides) and 800 4707 (90 slides), are being recalled. The action covers 27,330 units in the United States and 19,679,730 units outside it.
According to the manufacturer, quality control drift occurs when certain lots of Performance Verifiers are used with certain lots of cholinesterase enzyme slides, specifically when the Verifiers are used 2 to 7 days after reconstitution, even though the label stability claim is 7 days following reconstitution. This may lead to inaccurate QC results, could result in delayed results for patients due to repeat QC testing, and could also result in erroneous patient results with a small positive bias. The FDA classified the action as Class II.
Distribution was worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and internationally.
Laboratories should identify affected stock using the catalog numbers, UDI-DI codes and lot numbers in the recall notice and follow the instructions issued by the manufacturer.
