Reason for recall
Ortho Clinical Diagnostics confirmed that N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), a drug used for acetaminophen overdose, mucolytic therapy and is used as nutritional supplement, can interfere with VITROS GLU, LAC, TRIG, and URIC Slides assays. Ortho also tested several compounds following industry standard CLSI EP7-A2 for potential interference on VITROS GLU Slides during validation testing for a proposed change and confirmed Dextran 40 and Glutathione may interfere with current VITROS GLU Slides.
