Plain-English summary
Microgenics Corporation is recalling the QMS Tacrolimus Immunoassay Calibrator Set REF 10015573, which consists of six calibrators (A through F). A total of 615 kits have been distributed across the United States, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Malaysia, Mexico, South Korea, and Thailand.
The calibrators recovered between 82 and 94 percent of their target values. This malfunction results in over-quantitation in tacrolimus patient result values when the calibrators are used with the QMS Tacrolimus Immunoassay system. Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressant medication used in transplant patients, and accurate quantitation is critical for safe dosing.
In the United States, affected facilities are located in Alabama, Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
Healthcare facilities that have received affected lots 74175462 or 74267412 should stop using these calibrators immediately and contact Microgenics Corporation for replacement product. Any patient results generated with these calibrators may need to be reviewed and reanalyzed using correct calibrators.
