BioMerieux VIDAS System in combination with Quality Control VIDAS* (QCV*) Product Usage: the Quality Control VIDAS (QCV) is an automated test for use on the VIDAS¿ system to detect abnormal operation of the VIDAS and mini VIDAS instrument pipette mechanisms and optical systems. Specifically the mini VIDAS system is an immunodiagnostic system intended to be used by trained and qualified laboratory professionals, for In vitro Diagnostic (IVD) purpose, veterinary and industrial applications. The mini VIDAS¿ system is intended to execute an immunoassay protocol and to release results according to the package insert of the VIDAS¿ assay kits.

Reason: Increase of events affecting performance regarding pump clogging and displacement of the color-coded SPR label (DOT). These performance issues could contribute to erroneous results for any assay performed on the VIDAS¿ and mini VIDAS¿ system due to a decrease of pipetted volume.
