ProductAccess Immunoassay Systems enhanced AccuTnl Reagent Kit; Part Number: A78803 The Access AccuTnl assay is a paramagnetic particle, chemiluminescent immunoassay for the quantitative determination of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels in human serum and plasma using the Access Immunoassay Systems to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction and cardiac muscle damage. Cardiac Troponin I determination aids in the risk stratification of patients with unstable angina or non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes with respect to relative risk of mortality, myocardial infarction, or increased probability of ischemic events requiring urgent revascularization procedures.

ActionThe firm, Beckman Coulter, issued a "URGENT: PRODUCT CORRECTIVE ACTION" (PCA) letter with attached Customer Response form dated March 24, 2010 to all customers. The letter describes the issue, impact, action and resolution. In the PCA beckman Coulter recommends the following mitigation to reduce the risk of generating erroneous results: (1) Verify the APF software on the immunoassay system. If the updated APF software listed in the table above was already loaded , skip the remainder of this section and proceed to the Resolution section; (2) If the updated APF software has not yet been loaded, but is available, load the software appropriate for the system, skip the remainder of this section and proceed to the Resolution section; (3) If the updated APF software is not immediately available, please contact Technical Support at 1-800-854-3633 in the United States and Canada. Consignees outside the United States and Canada, contact their local Beckman Coulter Representative and follow the instructions below until the software has been loaded on their system. (a) Access and Access 2 users should batch process Access Testosterone, Thyroid Uptake, or Total T4 samples; (b) For UniCel DxI users, assign Access AccuTnI (REF A78803) to a different reagent pipettor(s) than Access Testosterone, Thyroid Uptake, or Total T4; (c) The Access Testosterone, Thyroid Uptake, or Total T4 results should be interpreted in light of the total clinical presentation of the patient, including: symptoms, clinical history, data from additional tests, and other appropriate information. Abnormally low Access Testosterone, Thyroid Uptake, or Total T4 results from samples tested in conjunction with Access AccuTnI (REF A78803) should be reviewed in the context of other diagnostic tests. Customers were instructed that after loading the updated APF software, the Access AccuTnI assay (REF A78803, test code TropI, test ID 275) must be recalibrated.
