Action Taken
Abbott Diagnostics International Limited, Ltd., mailed a Product Correction Letter to customers on 7/20/02 advising an additional option(s) has been identified to resolve Error Codes: - Perform one of the two options to resolve these error codes 1062, 1063, 1113, and 1118 observed when running patient samples on the AxSYM Digoxin III assay. - Dilute the sample one to one (1 part sample plus 1 part Calibrator A) and repeat analysis. - The final concentration is equal to the reported concentration of the sample multiplied by the dilution factor - The minimum final concentration that may be reported out is 0.6 ng/mL, which corresponds to the sensitivity of the AxSYM Digoxin III assay (0.3 ng/mL) multiplied by the dilution factor (2). OR - Centrifuge the sample at 8,000 to 10,000 RCF for 10 minutes and repeat analysis.
