Reported risk: Siemens confirmed that the ADVIA¿ Chemistry Systems HbA1c method exhibits a positive bias of up to 12% for patient and CAP survey samples due to over-recovery when using A1c_3 Calibrator lots 1MD014, 1BD063, and 2GD014. The established ranges of CAP Survey Samples GH2-04, GH2-05 and GH2-06 and IFCC sample recoveries use ¿ 7% from the established mean as their acceptance criteria. This is the criterion that was used during testing to confirm the customer complaints. Depending upon quality control limits this issue may not have been detected..
