Reason for Recall

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (OCD) identified an anomaly with Software Version 3.0 and below on the VITROS 4600 Chemistry Systems and VITROS Integrated Systems. Internal testing confirmed that when using calibrator barcode labels supplied with VITROS Chemistry Products Calibrator Kits 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 9, an unexpected assay calibration may occur if assay targets are unassigned (i.e., hidden).
