Abbott recalls ARCHITECT c8000 Cuvette Segments (Part #01G46-01/01G06) that may cause falsely low test results. Affected units include 165 cuvettes per reaction carousel. Consumers should contact Abbott for details.
There is a potential to generate falsely depressed patient results in the cuvettes adjacent to the detached segment post for any assay run on the c4000, c8000, and c16000 instrument.
Abbott is recalling c8000 Cuvette Segments that could cause test results to appear too low. This affects laboratory equipment used for clinical chemistry tests. If you have this component, it may lead to inaccurate patient results if used in the ARCHITECT system.
The cuvette segments may detach during use, causing adjacent test cuvettes to produce falsely low results. This could lead to incorrect patient diagnoses if the system is used without proper maintenance.
Laboratories using Abbott's ARCHITECT Clinical Chemistry systems may be affected. Those handling the recalled cuvette segments could face inaccurate test results.
Check for part numbers 01G46-01 or 01G06 on the cuvette segments. The segments hold 15 cuvettes each and are part of the ARCHITECT Clinical Chemistry system.
Reach out to Abbott Laboratories for specific instructions on handling the recalled segments.
Each segment holds 15 cuvettes, with 11 segments per unit totaling 165 cuvettes per reaction carousel.
The segments may cause test results to appear too low, potentially leading to inaccurate patient diagnoses.
Look for part numbers 01G46-01 or 01G06 on the cuvette segments.
