Recalled Product

Dimension Vista Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDI) Flex reagent cartridge, an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of lactate dehydrogenase in human serum and plasma on the Dimension Vista¿ System.Cat. No. K2054, Mat. No. 10464323


Hazard / Issue

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has confirmed that Dimension Vista Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDI) may exhibit an erroneously elevated result when the preceding assay in the reaction cuvette is Lactic Acid (LA). The magnitude of the elevation may be variable. Both quality control and patient samples may be impacted. Incomplete removal of residual lactate dehydrogenase, a component of the LA reagent, has been identified as the cause of the potentially elevated result. A falsely elevated result for lactate dehydrogenase may lead to additional investigations to determine the etiology of tissue damage. Results would be correlated with clinical history and presentation in addition to other diagnostic laboratory testing.
