QuikLYTE Dilution Check: used to monitor and adjust for the dilution ratio on Dimension clinical chemistry systems with the QuikLYTE module. Intended Use of the QuikLYTE module : The Na+, K+, Cl and TCO2 methods on the Dimension clinical chemistry system with the QuikLYTE module are in vitro diagnostic tests intended for the quantitative measurement of sodium, potassium, chloride and total carbon dioxide in human serum and heparinized plasma. They are also intended for the quantitative measurement of Na+, K+ and Cl- in urine.

Quantity: 5981

Why Was This Recalled?

A positive bias beyond 5% resulting in a dilution check failure or an unnecessary dilution check correction if the positive bias is greater than 1% and less than 5%. The dilution check correction would be detected by QC; however, if not detected by QC, the calibration curve would be decreased and cause elevated sodium, potassium and chloride patient results.
