Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is recalling 18,080 units of Dimension Creatinine Flex reagent cartridges (model DF33B). These cartridges, used in laboratory settings to measure creatinine levels, may produce inaccurate results that are either too high or too low. No injuries or incidents have been reported, but the defect could lead to incorrect medical assessments.
The quality control and patient sample results may be imprecise, leading to erroneously increased or decreased creatinine values. This inaccuracy could potentially result in misdiagnosis or delayed treatment for conditions related to kidney function.
