| Issue: | The manufacturer has become aware of unexpected reactions primarily on eluates and QC samples but also with some patient samples when using the ID-DIACell l-ll-lll and ID-DiaPanel products. In case of doubtful reactions, please re-test with a new kit. If the results remain in doubt, the manufacturer advises to send the sample to a reference laboratory and if an urgent transfusion is required, perform a crossmatch. Follow up 24 Feb 2017: There has been further development (follow up) from our Manufacturer additional 3 other devices that are also affected. The manufacturer received complaints regarding indirect antiglobulin test (IAT), especially when eluates and QC samples were tested, less frequently when patient samples were tested. |
