Product Description Dimension Vista(R) Cuvettes The Dimension Vista(R) Cuvettes are for use on the Dimension Vista(R) System. The Dimension Vista(R) integrated system is an in vitro diagnostic device intended to duplicate manual analytical procedures such as pipetting, mixing, heating, and measuring spectral intensities to determine a variety of analytes in human body fluid. Vista (TM) system chemical and immunochemical applications utilize photometric, turbidimetric, chemiluminescence, nephelometric and integrated ion selective multisensor technology for clinical use.

Reason for Recall Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has confirmed a low frequency defect in the molding of the Cuvettes that may result in Cuvette Ring and Cuvette Loader jams. It has been determined that the issue is related to a molding defect with the Cuvette flange or "wing" breaking, resulting in an error condition. Therefore, patient results are not impacted.

Action Details Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics sent a Urgent Field Safety Notice letter dated August 2011, to all affected customers. The letter identifed the product the problem and the action needed to be taken by customer. Customers were instructed to discard all cuvette cartridges of the identified lots.
