| Issue: | Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has identified the following issue on the ADVIA Centaur® XPT system : · The time of initiation for onboard stability (OBS) on the ADVIA Centaur® XPT system is calculated when probe wash reagent packs are pierced (used by the system), not when loaded onto the instrument, for probe wash reagents PW2, PW3 and PW4. · Because onboard stability (OBS) is calculated when the probe wash reagent pack is pierced, not when loaded onto the instrument, the probe wash reagent pack may be on the instrument longer than described in the Instructions For Use (IFU). |
