Critical riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Vitros xt systems. Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (Ortho) became aware of an anomaly that affects Vitros Xt 3400 and Vitros Xt 7600 systems. These systems utilize a digital imaging reflectometer and led light source to generate Vitros microslide assay results. Ortho's on-going investigation has determined that performing a system shutdown on Vitros Xt 3400 and Vitros Xt 7600 systems may, in some instances, cause a positive or negative shift in the electrical current supplied to the led used in conjunction with the digital imaging reflectometer. This shift in electrical current may also lead to a shift in multiple Vitros microslide assay results reported by the system. Recall start date: July 22, 2022 Published 2022-08-02.
