Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. has confirmed that a negative sodium bias may exist in some epoc test card lots. All other analytes are performing as intended. The observed average bias for sodium was -4.4 mmol/L. The maximum bias observed was -14 mmol/L, which occurred at a higher sodium concentration around 150 mmol/L. No positive bias has been observed. Quality Control (QC) fluid may or may not detect the issue depending on the bias magnitude and the frequency of QC testing.
