Reason for Recall

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (QuidelOrtho) confirmed during routine testing that some lots from Coating 3598 of VITROS ECO2 slides included carts which may contain consecutive slides that may not function as intended. These affected slides (potentially intermittent, consecutive slides within a cart or across consecutive carts) have an abnormality which may cause positively or negatively biased total carbon dioxide (CO2) results leading to either overdiagnosis of acidosis or missing alkalosis, both which may prompt unnecessary therapies such as IV fluids and/or bicarbonate or overdiagnosis of alkalosis which may also result in unnecessary use of IV fluids and electrolyte replacement or failure to detect acidosis and necessary treatment.
