Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling approximately 88,253 VITROS XT Chemistry Products ALB-TP Slides because the slides may shed dust and debris during normal use in laboratory analyzers. This debris can contaminate other slides (VITROS Na+ Sodium Slides) processed in the same machine, leading to inaccurate medical test results for sodium levels. The affected slides were distributed nationwide and internationally for use in VITROS XT 3400 and VITROS XT 7600 analyzers.
The dust and debris can cause falsely high or low sodium measurements, which may lead to incorrect medical diagnoses and treatments for conditions like hypernatremia or hyponatremia, potentially posing a serious health hazard to patients.
