Reason of Field Safety Corrective Action:Abbott Diagnostics has received information from Toshiba, the supplier of the ICT Pre-Amp Board, indicating the board’s photo couplers may degrade over time. Affected ARCHITECT cSystems will generate repeated calibration failures for the ICT analytes (sodium, potassium, and chloride).
Remedy Action:Abbott has identified the systems which may contain the affected boards, and will be making arrangements with you to replace the board at no charge. All replacements are expected to be completed within the next three months.
