Action Subsidiaries and distributors were initially notified of the recall on approximately 01/04/2018. U.S. customers were notified via letter on approximately 01/22/2018. On 03/28/2018 a follow-up notification was issued world-wide to customers to expand the scope. Instructions included to increase the frequency of the Quality Control VIDAS¿ (QCV¿) testing to weekly rather than monthly to reduce the period of potential retrospective analyses needed, continue to conduct a visual inspection of the SPR¿ after each run (including patient sample test and QCV¿ test) to ensure that the dot on the SPR¿ is still in place, continue to perform External QC testing in accordance with laboratory policy and in compliance with Governmental Regulations & Accreditation Requirements, which includes CLIA, ensure the notification letter is distributed to and reviewed by all appropriate personnel, store the notification letter with the bioM¿rieux VIDAS¿ and /or miniVIDAS¿ documentation, and complete and return the Acknowledgement Form in Attachment A by Fax to confirm receipt of the notice.
