Recalled products

  1. Advia Centaur System - HIV Ag/Ab Combo (CHIV) Assays
  2. Advia Centaur XP - HIV Ag/Ab Combo (CHIV) Assay
  3. Advia Centaur CP - HIV Ag/Ab Combo (CHIV) Assay

Reason

The analytical sensitivity statements in the Advia Centaur / XP and Advia Centaur CP IFUs were based on one lot of reagent. Siemens evaluated the current P24 analytical sensitivity with multiple lots to determine if the HIV Ag / Ab combo (CHIV) assay is meeting the IFU statements. Five out of the seven lots evaluated on the Advia Centaur / XP and four out of seven lots evaluated on the Advia Centaur CP did not meet the statement in the IFU with regard to P24 analytical sensitivity. However, the CHIV assay is meeting the design requirements (Dir target < 1.5 IU/mL, Dir minimum < 2.0 IU/ml) and the CTS analytical sensitivity requirement of less than and equal to  2.0 IU/mL.
