Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics recalls VITROS XT TBIL-ALKP Slides due to etrombopag interference in TBIL tests. This affects in vitro diagnostic use only. No remedy specified in official notice.
Etrombopag Interference for VITROS Chemistry Products: TBIL Slides, VITROS BuBc Slides and VITROS XT TBIL-ALKP Slides
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling VITROS XT TBIL-ALKP Slides because they can give inaccurate bilirubin test results when etrombopag is present. This is a lab test product used for blood analysis, not for home use.
These slides can produce false bilirubin readings when etrombopag medication is present. Etrombopag is a drug used for certain blood disorders, so patients on this medication could get incorrect test results if their blood is analyzed using the recalled slides.
Healthcare providers using these slides for bilirubin testing in labs are affected. Patients taking etrombopag medication may have inaccurate test results if their blood is tested with these slides.
Check for the product code 6844296 on the slides. The recall covers all current, future, and past lots of these slides used in in vitro diagnostic testing.
Look for product code 6844296 on the slides to confirm if they are recalled.
The official recall notice does not specify a remedy or action to stop use, so there is no immediate stop order.
The slides can give inaccurate bilirubin test results if etrombopag medication is present, which may lead to incorrect health assessments.
The recall indicates a potential for inaccurate results with etrombopag, but no specific safety issue is described that would require immediate action.
