Tina-Quant Hemoglobin A1c Gen. 2 Hemoglobin A1c test Catalog number 04528123190 / 05401640190

Quantity: 4976

Why Was This Recalled?

Roche Diagnostics has confirmed elevated QC and patient sample recovery for individual Tina-quant¿ Hemoglobin A1c Gen.2 and Tina-quant Hemoglobin A1cDx Gen.2 cassettes/bottles. This issue occurred over multiple lots. Single cassettes/bottles of the reagents are affected. The issue can lead to erroneously high HbA1c results. If a patient with known diabetes is affected, an erroneously high HbA1c result might lead to therapeutic consequences, such as therapy escalation (introduction of another oral antidiabetic medication or insulin) or increase of the dosage. This can further lead to an increased risk of hypoglycemia. Considering the unreliable detectability of the issue, relevant medical risk for the patient cannot entirely be excluded.
