Reason

Abbott has identified an issue with all on market versions of Alinity ci-series software where the software may not detect an issue on the Alinity c integrated chip technology (ICT) assays, sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), and chloride (Cl-). Abbott will be releasing Alinity ci-series software version 2.6.1 to change the ICT reference solution voltage drift threshold from 10mV to 3mV to improve the ability of the system to detect ICT reference solution voltage drift. ICT issues may cause incorrect patient results for the Na+, K+, and Cl- assays for all specimen types (serum, plasma, and urine).
