Incorrect Default Hemolysis, Icterus or Lipemia (HIL) Index for Five Dimension Vista Assays
When the Millipore Water Purification Module Progard Pretreatment Packs are used with Dimension Vista Triglyceride assay, patient and QC triglyceride results may be erroneously elevated as a result of contamination.
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has identified an issue with Dimension Vista software v.3.7 and v.3.8.1 that may result in aliquot well contamination. If a test is cancelled by the operator while the instrument is aliquotting the sample, the Dimension Vista instrument may continue to deliver the cancelled sample or vial contents to the aliquot well(s). Future samples may be assigned to the same ali…
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has confirmed that in isolated cases when ECREA is processed immediately after the weekly automated Acid Clean routine during Probe Test, there is the remote potential for an elevation of greater than 15 percent in the ECREA result.
Discrepant patient results on Dimension Vista Intelligent Lab Systems. Siemens Healthcare confirmed a software defect which, in a very specific set of circumstances, results in the Dimension Vista System omitting an aliquot probe rinse between sample aspirations when processing tubes in Sample Racks that are front loaded on the Dimension Vista System.
Customer complaints of discrepant flagged and/or un-flagged patient and QC results. Reagent probe performance may decline more quickly than anticipated and have an effect on assays with similar formulations when processed sequentially on the same reagent server.
A small number of Vista Air Compressors were miswired, which if installed and powered up, could cause a fire, or become an electrical shock hazard.
When utilizing the Routine Inventory screen to enter a User Defined Method (EMPTY) Flex the system may assign the User Defined Method Flex to a different Flex that is currently in inventory on the system, and then use the incorrect Flex Cartridge to process the user defined method.
Siemens is conducting a field correction for Dimension Vista 500 and Dimension Vista 1500 systems using software versions 3.5.1 and 3.6. Under specific rare conditions which require a system reset, there is a potential for a sample to be dispensed into an aliquot well that has previously been used for a QC or calibrator product from a Vista vial. If two samples are dispensed into the same aliquot
Defective batteries used in the Alpha Pinnacle P10 UPS External Battery Pack may overheat and cause a strong sulfuric odor to be released and a corrosive sulfuric acid solution leak to occur.
