Description

Reason

Potential total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) results. The VITROS TIBC performance shift will start with the newest Generation (GEN) of VITROS Fe Slides (GEN 26), the potential shift in TIBC patient values of GEN 26 and above will be approximately 80 ug/dL lower across the measuring range than other available GENS of VITROS Fe Slides (GENs 22-25).

Action

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics on 18 February 2021 issued Product Correction Notice(Ref. CL2021-054) states reason for correction, health risk and provided the following information: VITROS TIBC results will show a performance shift will start with the newest Generation (GEN) of VITROS Fe Slides (GEN 26) and above. Specifically, for VITROS TIBC GEN 26 and above, patient and quality control values may shift lower (approximately 80 g/dL across the measuring range) than other available GENS of VITROS Fe Slides (GENs 22-25). To maintain consistent VITROS TIBC GEN to GEN performance, Ortho will be updating the VITROS Calibrator Kit 4 TIBC values for VITROS Fe Slides GENs 22-25 to match VITROS Fe Slides GENs 26 and above. This will allow the TIBC performance for all VITROS Fe Slides GENs to match the reference method performance utilizing the new MgCO3 lot. The performance adjustment for VITROS Fe Slides GENs 22-25 is expected to be implemented in March 2021. At that time, VITROS TIBC GENs 22-25 will become uncalibrated. Ortho will notify customers in advance of this change. After noting that result of VITROS TIBC GEN 26 and above will shift approximately 80 g/dL from current performance, it is acceptable to continue using all VITROS Fe Slides GENs with the VITROS TIBC Kit and VITROS Calibrator Kit 4.
