DCA Systems HbA1c Reagent Kit recall

DCA Systems HbA1c Reagent Kit

Why was DCA Systems HbA1c Reagent Kit recalled?

The reason for the recall is that the Siemens DCA HbA1c Reagent Kit was confirmed to display a positive bias without alerting the user. The potential impact of the defect is that erroneous test results could be reported and potentially lead to incorrect patient management of glucose control. A positive bias may be observed with eleven HbA1c affected lots. Positive bias was observed when the performance of these five HbA1c lots was compared to NGSP pooled patient target-value assigned samples and the maximum bias observed was 19%.
