Class II FDA medical device recall by Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc., initiated 2023-08-09. It names 4 FDA 510(k) clearances: K182063, K083173, K081543 and 1 more. Product: Proboscis/Piston Assembly, Part Number J55375, for VITROS 5,1 FS Chemistry System (Product Code 6801375), VITROS 5,1 Chemistry System (Refurbished) (Product Code 6801890), VITROS 3600 Immunodiagnostic System (Product Code 6802783), VITROS 3600 Immunodiagnostic System (Refurbished) (Product Code 6802914), VITROS 4600 Chemistry System (Product Code 6802445), VITROS 4600 Chemistry System (Refurbished) (Product Code 6900440), VITROS 5600 Integrated System (Product Code 6802413), VITROS 5600 Integrated System (Refurbished) (Product Code 6802915), VITROS XT 3400 Chemistry System (Product Code 6844458), and VITROS XT 7600 Integrated System (Product Code 6844461). Reason: Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (QuidelOrtho) confirmed certain Proboscis/Piston Assemblies manufactured between 07-Apr-2022 (Date code: 040722) and 19-Dec-2022 (Date code: 121922) may not perform as intended due to an out-of-specification barrel component. This may cause VITROS VersaTips and/or VITROS MicroTips to be improperly seated on the proboscis, which may result in falsely elevated Gentamicin and Valproic Acid assay results as well as an increased frequency of condition codes resulting in delayed patient results. The issue was identified by internal testing when reported instruments failed to pass release testing and were traced to the molded Proboscis part J56639 with date codes from 040722 onward..
