Class II FDA medical device recall by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc., initiated 2016-07-20, terminated 2018-06-07. It names one FDA 510(k) clearance: K110934. Product: ADVIA Chemistry XPT, SMN 10723034, IVD. --- This issue affects only the ADVIA Chemistry Hemoglobin A1c_3 Automated Pretreatment (A1c_3) results when HbA1c values are reported in International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) equivalent units (HbA1cR). The ADVIA Chemistry XPT System is an automated, clinical chemistry analyzer that runs tests on serum, plasma, urine, or cerebral spinal fluid in random access and batch modes at a throughput rate of both 1800 photometric tests per hour and 600 electrolyte (ISE) tests per hour. Reason: Siemens identified an issue with the ratio equation provided on the ADVIA Chemistry XPT System Software Test Definition (TDef) Version 1.0 disks (SMN: 11127343 and 11222123). This issue affects only the ADVIA Chemistry Hemoglobin A1c_3 Automated Pretreatment (A1c_3) results when HbA1c values are reported in International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) equivalent units (HbA1cR). The ratio equation used to calculate ADVIA Chemistry Hemoglobin A1c_3 Automated Pretreatment (A1c_3) results in IFCC units contains an error. The error results in falsely depressed HbA1cR results..
