Reported risk: Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has confirmed complaints of failing dilution checks when using QuikLYTE dilution check Lot 4MD707. This lot may exhibit a positive bias possibly beyond 5% that can result in a dilution check failure or may result in an unnecessary correction if the bias is between 1 - 5%. A dilution check failure prevents complete installation of the QuikLYTE integrated multisensor as described in the dimension operator's guide.
