Abbott laboratories has identified an issue during stability testing with the architect havab-g calibrator kit, list number 06l27-01; lot 08219be00, where this specific lot has the potential to be impacted by an increase in the relative light units (rlus) of up to 95%.With the increase in the calibrator rlu values, there is the potential for control values and patient results generated with the impacted calibrator lot to be decreased, which may change interpretations of results from reactive to falsely non-reactive.There has been no reported impact to patient management as a result of this issue.

Complete information for : correction/removal reporting number = 3002809144-11/08/19-011-r.The investigation into the issue showed that the source of the elevated results on the tested samples was attributed to a contamination of the havab-g calibrator with (b)(6) anti-hcv calibrator, containing anti-hav igg.This resulted in elevated rlu of the specific calibrator vial.
