Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is recalling 2,864 units of IMMULITE 2000 Oak Mix Specific Allergen, 3gAllergy Specific IgE Universal Kits, and Food Panel 3 Specific Allergen. These products have an incorrect barcode orientation that causes IMMULITE 2000 and IMMULITE 2000 XPi instruments using Zebra scanners to misidentify the position of tubes within the holder. This recall affects various lots manufactured in the United States and distributed worldwide.
The incorrect barcode orientation causes the scanning instrument to recognize tubes in the wrong order. This can lead to the instrument processing samples incorrectly or generating diagnostic test results that do not correspond to the correct patient allergen, potentially impacting medical decisions.
