Product

VITROS Chemistry Products VANC Reagent, REF/Product Code 680 1709, Unique Identifier No. 10758750006731, Rx ONLY, IVD --- Ortho Clinical Diagnostics - USA -- Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics Pencoed, CF35 5PZ, UK ---- The VITROS VANC reagent is for ORTHO Clinical Diagnostics manufactured by Siemens. The VANC product has a maximum on-analyzer stability of < 7days. The on-analyzer stability of each VITROS VANC Reagent pack is determined by the system. Once the VANC reagent pack is loaded on the system, the on-analyzer stability time is continuously adjusted based upon both the amount of time the reagent pack is on the analyzer and the number of tests remaining in the pack. The method by which the on-analyzer stability of the VITROS VANC Reagent is determined is stated in the reagents Instructions for Use.

Reason

Potential for biased results generated using the specific lots of VITROS VANC Reagent. This can occur after the reagent packs are loaded onto the analyzer and stored within the on-analyzer stability date.
