  VITROS Chemistry Products LAC Slides on VITROS XT 3400 and VITROS XT 7600 Systems are experiencing an increased occurrence of calibration failure related to lots from coating 0130 and above with Condition Code TH4-63J during calibration, causing the delay of lac test results and potentially impact patient management. The issue was identified by QuidelOrtho through an increase in customer complaints compared to the historical baseline with average failure rate of 1% for coating 0130 in 2025 while average of failure rate for other coating was 0.06% in 2025 and average of failure rate for all coatings is 0.03% for 2024.
