Reported risk: Siemens is conducting a field corrective action for the Advia Centaur and Advia Centaur XP immunoassay systems, fluid reservoir connector tubing. The tubing for the wash 1, acid, and base bottle reservoirs may be affected. On some systems a slight cracking of the tubing at the connecting fitting on the reservoir connector assembly may occur due to mechanical stress and may result in a minor drip of fluid onto the reservoir and into the drip tray located underneath the reservoirs. The drip will cause the reservoir to empty faster than the system expects.
