In the initial medwatch, the first line of b5 describe event or problem should have been: "the initial reporter received questionable roche 9180 sodium electrode results from two patient samples tested on the roche 9180 electrolyte analyzer w/o starterkit 9180." instead of: "the initial reporter received questionable roche 9180 sodium electrode results from two patient samples tested on the electrolyte analyzer w/o starterkit 9180." the customer used a diamond diagnostics (dd ref electrode) for the roche 9180 electrolyte analyzer.The field service engineer replaced the reference and sodium electrodes, the electrode housing, and the analyzer's fluid, waste, and calibrator pack.The investigation reviewed the qcs; qc levels 1 and 2 results were within the specified ranges.The root cause of the issue was related to a reference electrode manufactured by diamond diagnostics (dd ref electrode) used with the 9180 electrolyte analyzer.The reference electrode used (dd ref electrode) is covered by a roche-initiated recall.Customers using the dd ref electrode were instructed to immediately stop using the sodium (na) results from their 9180 analyzer.The affected reference electrode was not distributed in the united states.Customers in the united states use the roche reference electrode and the reference electrode housing.No further action is needed for customers in the united states.
