  • Action
    Abbott initiated a field correction recall by letter dated 4/23/07 to all customers receiving the affected reagents. The accounts were informed of the failure of the AxSYM to open (actuate) some reagent packs with the affected lots. The accounts were requested to inspect each reagent pack for broken or improperly sealed caps; manually open each bottle to ensure the flipper bar raises the reagent cap correctly; close each flipper bar prior to loading the reagent pack on the instrument; and discard any reagent packs that do not open properly. If the user observes a probe crash, prior to testing samples again, the user must perform a probe crash recovery following the procedure in the Operations Manual. If necessary, they need to replace the probe. If a probe crash recovery is not performed, subsequent results may be impacted. The customers were requested to retain a copy of the letter for their records. Customers requiring additional information were directed to contact Abbott Customer Service at 1-877-422-2688.

  • Commentaire du fabricant
    “We are in constant communication with regulatory agencies and competent authorities worldwide which allows us to implement global recalls or in-country communication quickly and effectively,” Abbott, which now owns St. Jude Medical told ICIJ in a statement. In addition to sending global notices to physicians worldwide, we also make sure that product advisories are available online and classification of product recalls and product advisories are determined by global regulatory bodies which can impact the timing in any given country. MD companies follow varying regulations in different countries. In come countries software is not regulated so a recall in one country related to software would not be classified as a recall or field action in another. In addition, review cycles within the regulatory process can be different in each country which can impact communication and recall timing.
