- Reason
- Malfunction of the GSP disk remover unit may cause a punched disc to remain in the well during the measurement of the plate. This may cause a false negative screening result being reported for 17-OHP, resulting in failure to identify cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).
- Root cause
- Device Design
- Action
- Recall (correction) letters were sent to all customers on October 24, 2011. An improved disk remover design is under development to eliminate the reported problem. Until the final field correction is available, customers should follow the precautions provided. The needed protocol update will be performed by the local service engineer. If customers observe an increase in the occurrence of the problem, the laboratory should contact their local PerkinElmer representative.
