Action Siemens issued an "Urgent Field Safety Notice" letter dated December 2009 to users identifying the issue and affected product. Customers were instructed not to use heparinized plasma samples for IBCT testing. IBCT Instructions for Use (IFU) has been updated to reflect that heparinized plasma is no longer an acceptable sample type. Beginning with lot ED0341, the new IFU will be packaged in the carton with the IBCT Flex¿ reagent cartridges. Consignees were requested to forward the notification letter to anyone to whom the product was distributed. The Siemens Technical Solutions Center can be contacted at 800-441-9250.
