    Description

    ARCHITECT i System Assay CD ROM - US, list 6E58-22, Version 22.01, and ARCHITECT i System Assay CD-ROM - WW (excluding US), list 6E59-23, Version 23.0, containing the ARCHITECT LH assay file; Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostic Division, Abbott Park, IL 60064 USA; Product List Number: 6E58 (US) and 6E59 (WW) Versions 23 and lower. The Architect LH assay is a Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay for the quantitative determination of human luteinizing hormone (LH) in human serum or plasma.

    Reason

    There continues to be an elevated level of complaint activity for calibration error code 1227, when using ARCHITECT LH reagent lots (6C25-22 or 6C25-27) due to the use of assay disk versions that do not contain the updated ARCHITECT LH assay file contained on ARCHITECT i System Assay CD ROM versions 24 and higher (US LN 6E58, WW LN 6E59).

    Action

    Abbott issued a "Product Correction-Immediate Action Required" letter dated April 24, 2009. The letter provided users with the steps to take to determine what version of the ARCHITECT LH Assay is on their instrument and instructions for installing the assay file provided with the letter if needed. Users were requested to return a customer reply letter acknowledging receipt of the letter. For additional information, contact 1-877-4ABBOTT.
