VITROS DGXN Slides Recalled Due to Hemoglobin Interference in Digoxin Measurement
VITROS DGXN Slides are recalled because hemoglobin can interfere with digoxin measurement, producing artificially low results. Approximately 1,541 units were distributed in the US and internationally.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II device recall with no reported illnesses or injuries, but it involves a measurement accuracy issue with digoxin—a narrow-therapeutic-index cardiac medication where even small errors in serum level measurement can affect clinical dosing decisions. It qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
QUIDEL ORTHO has recalled VITROS Chemistry Products DGXN Slides (Model 8343386), diagnostic test slides used to measure digoxin concentration in patient blood serum. The recall was initiated because hemoglobin interference may occur at concentrations lower than the claimed maximum threshold of 300 mg/dL, which can cause the test to produce artificially low (negatively biased) digoxin measurement results.
The recall affects 1,541 distributed units: 1,125 in the United States (nationwide distribution) and 416 distributed internationally to Australia, Belgium, Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The affected product includes in-date lots manufactured with coating formulations 0271 and/or 0272, with the latest expiration date of April 1, 2025. The recall scope includes consignees who received product within the last 18 months.
Digoxin is a cardiac medication used to treat congestive heart failure and supraventricular arrhythmias. Digoxin measurements are used to monitor patient therapy compliance and to diagnose potential overdose. The accuracy of these test measurements is essential for proper clinical management of patients receiving digoxin therapy.
