What the authority reported
A high recovery of Iron assay has been observed at some customer sites. Internal studies confirmed the positive shift of Quality Control and patient samples results, up to 15% for Iron Products (Alinity c Iron Reagent REF. 08P3920) to be used on Abbott Alinity Instrument and to 30% for Iron Products (IRON REF. 6K95-41 and IRON REF. 6K95- 30) to be used on Abbott Architect Instrument. When using the affected lots, there is a potential for delay in reporting patient results due to QC failure, also a potential for falsely elevated results.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
