Every line below is in FDA’s own words, with its source beside it. FDA’s terms are explained in FDA’s own words.
How serious is it, by FDA’s class?
Class II, the middle of FDA’s three classes.
“Products that might cause a temporary health problem, or pose only a slight threat of a serious nature. Example: a drug that is under-strength but that is not used to treat life-threatening situations.”
openFDA, in plain words, its enforcement report fields.
“Class II is a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
FDA’s rule, 21 CFR 7.3(m)(2), eCFR.
What these words mean is quoted from openFDA’s field reference and 21 CFR 7.3.
What’s wrong with it?
The VITROS 3600 Immunodiagnostic System software versions 3.8.0 may not correctly notify users if the Signal Reagent Pack exceeds the on-board and/or shelf-life expiration date. This could result in the use of expired products, which would increase the risk of no results or erroneous results from the instrument.

Catalogue number 6802914 is used to denote the VITROS 3600 Immunodiagnostic System that have been refurbished, these systems can also be referred to as certified. A VITROS 3600 Immunodiagnostic System Certified/Refurbished maintains its original serial number through the refurbishment/certification process. Therefore, the manufacturing and distribution information for the two catalogue numbers will be combined. Note2: When manufactured the system s serial numbers are sequential, but not all analyzers are released for distribution and therefore not installed. The range of serial numbers provided includes the identified minimum and maximum in serial numbers associated with all currently installed systems. Therefore, the amount of each system manufactured may not equal the amount of each system installed. Additionally, not all serial numbers listed are associated with an active installed analyzer in use today. Note3: The value given for “Product Quantity Distributed” is the total number of active installed systems that are in use today. This number is known to fluctuate as individual systems are installed and/or decommissioned.

What this record can’t tell you
- Whether your own one is affected: compare the codes, dates and numbers above with yours. When unsure, ask the firm or the store.
- Where it went after the firm’s first shipments. FDA’s words cover the firm’s initial distribution, and, in FDA’s words, “subsequent distribution by the consignees to other parties may not be included.”
- How many have been returned, corrected or destroyed: FDA’s report doesn’t say.
- Whether anyone was hurt or fell ill: the report doesn’t say.
- How current it is: openFDA publishes FDA’s Enforcement Report weekly, after FDA does, and a firm can announce a recall weeks before it appears there. openFDA’s own caution: “This data should not be used as a method to collect data to issue alerts to the public, nor should it be used to track the lifecycle of a recall.”
- A product with no recall here isn’t safe by that: FDA’s report lists the recalls FDA classified, and when.
