  • openFDA Device Enforcement Report-date coverage June 20, 2012–July 08, 2026 Known gap: openFDA describes 2004-present coverage, but the current export has no report-date records in this interval.
  • openFDA Device Recall event_date_initiated coverage June 01, 1997–June 30, 2026

Enforcement coverage uses report dates; product initiation dates can precede those bounds. Device-enrichment coverage uses FDA event_date_initiated.

Reason for recall

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (OCD) identified an anomaly with Software Version 3.0 and below on the VITROS 4600 Chemistry Systems and VITROS Integrated Systems. Internal testing confirmed that when using calibrator barcode labels supplied with VITROS Chemistry Products Calibrator Kits 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 9, an unexpected assay calibration may occur if assay targets are unassigned (i.e., hidden).

Code information
