Model Numbers included in this recall are 08N53-001, 08N53-002, and 08N53-032 (Refurbished).The design of the Alinity m System Solutions drawer enclosure may allow liquid (liquid waste or system solutions) originating in the System Solutions drawer to flow beyond the footprint of the instrument and into the walking-path of the user.Class IIOpen, Classified
Z-0234-2025Abbott Alinity m STI AMP Kit, used with the Alinity m System, product codes: a) REF 09N17-095; b) REF 09N17-090; c) REF 09N17-091;Abbott has identified an increase of incidences regarding Error Code (EC) 9198 (Positive control is non-reactive) while using the Alinity m HR HPV AMP Kit and Alinity m STI AMP Kit. Certain invalidated positive assay controls can be traced to iron leaching into the Alinity m Lysis Solution from the lysis transfer pump in the Alinity m System.Class IIOpen, Classified
Z-0233-2025Abbott Alinity m HPV AMP Kit, used with the Alinity m System, product codes: a) REF 09N15-095; b) REF 09N15-090; c) REF 09N15-091Abbott has identified an increase of incidences regarding Error Code (EC) 9198 (Positive control is non-reactive) while using the Alinity m HR HPV AMP Kit and Alinity m STI AMP Kit. Certain invalidated positive assay controls can be traced to iron leaching into the Alinity m Lysis Solution from the lysis transfer pump in the Alinity m System.Class IIOpen, Classified
Z-1602-2024Alinity m System, Part Number: 08N53-002The Alinity m System camera detects whether tubes are "capped." If the camera detects a cap and the retention bar is not present on the sample rack, the system will generate the message 'Error - 6013: Has cap, no retention bar." Abbott has identified an issue concerning the use of certain third-party Universal Transport Medium (UTM) tubes on the Alinity m System. This issue has been observed with Copan UTM-RT 3 mL Without Beads Transport & Preservation Medium for Viral Molecular Diagnostics Testing, Part Number (PN) 3C047N. However, it is possible that other third party manufactured tubes could experience the same issue.Class IIOpen, Classified

Z-0407-2024Alinity m HCV AMP kit, List (REF) Numbers: a) 08N50-095 and b) 08N50-090. The Alinity m HCV assay is an in vitro reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for use with the automated Alinity m System to detect and quantitate hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in human serum or plasma.Abbott has received reports of an increase in reactive negative controls and false positive results in patient samples when using the Identified Lots of Alinity m HCV AMP Kit.Class IIOpen, Classified
Z-1009-2023Alinity m System. The Alinity m System is designed to automate the steps for nucleic acid testing, which includes sample processing, amplification, detection, and data reduction.The firm identified the following three potential issues which may have impacted ADUs installed on distributed Alinity m Systems. 1. Systems which had their ADUs serviced may have an incorrect board value (calibration data file) referenced causing a misconfiguration of the calibration. 2. Inability of Maintenance and Diagnostics 2300 (Amp Detect Optical Calibrations) to recognize error handling and thermal hold errors during the calibration process, potentially leading to a misconfiguration of the calibration. 3. Under specific conditions during the ADU manufacturing process, an incorrect calibration may potentially have been configured.Class IIOpen, Classified

Z-0739-2023Abbott Alinity m Resp-4-Plex Amp Kit, Part Number 09N79-096Reports of an increase in reactive negative controls and false positive results with certain lots of Alinity M Resp-4-Plex AMP kits.Class IIOpen, Classified
Z-1349-2023Abbott Alinity m System, REF 08N53-002, containing Amplification Detetction Unit (ADU) #4.The instrument was found to be installed without plunger assemblies in the clamp bar for an Amplification Detection Unit. After correction of the issue, the instrument was returned for use without calibration. This would result in a potential for delay of results and incorrect results.Class IIOpen, Classified
Z-0268-2023Alinity m System, REF 08N53-002, For In Vitro Diagnostic UseAbbott has identified potential performance issues for the Alinity m System software version 1.6.5: 1) In a unique scenario, the waste chute flapper was found to not open when the Systems Solution drawer was closed and locked. It was found that the software will cause the flapper door to stay in the closed position when the drawer is closed and locked if the flapper had previously been moved out of position. 2) Sample preparation drawer #1 barcode information is used instead of sample prep drawer #2 when the scanned data is not sent to the System Control Center before the next bottle barcode in sample prep drawer#2 is scanned. 3) Under a specific condition, while the system is processing tests and a new test request is made, when the level of the bulk solution is too low to process a test, the software would error stop the system and try to complete all in-process tests. An internal counter is reset which can cause reaction vessels (RVs) already present in an Amplification Detection Unit (or amp detect) to remain there and not be moved to waste so that more RVs can be placed into the amp detect for processing. 4) 4 to 6 replicates of the same auto calibrator orders can be run with 2 different sets of calibrator materials on the same rack. It was discovered during internal testing, when running 4 to 6 replicates of a calibrator, it is possible for the user to use 2 separate lots of material which is not detected by the System Control Center (SCC). If this were to occur, the calibration curve would be created using 2 separate material lots. In normal use scenario, this curve would be made using only 1 lot of material.Class IIOpen, Classified

Verification record

There is no verification record for this company. Most companies on this site have none: a record exists only where a company asked to be verified and MDM ran the checks, so the absence of one says nothing about the company.

Where there is a record, this is where it appears: what was checked, when it was checked, and the current status. An MDM Verified badge on another website links to a verify address on this domain that resolves to this section. A badge that does not resolve here is not ours.
