There were reports of an increase in reactive negative controls and false positive results.
- 2025-05-21FDA-DeviceClass IIAlinity m Resp-4-Plex Amplification (AMP) Kit (CE), List Number 09N79-090, a multiplex real-time reverse transcription (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test intended for the qualitative detection and differentiation of RNA from influenza A virus (flu A), influenza B virus (flu B), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens collected by a healthcare provider, from individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection
There were reports of an increase in reactive negative controls and false positive results.
- 2025-04-30FDA-DeviceClass IIThe Alinity m System is designed to automate the steps for nucleic acid testing. Model Numbers included in this recall are 08N53-001, 08N53-002, and 08N53-032 (Refurbished).
The design of the Alinity m System Solutions drawer enclosure may allow liquid (liquid waste or system solutions) originating in the System Solutions drawer to flow beyond the footprint of the instrument and into the walking-path of the user.
- 2024-11-06FDA-DeviceClass IIAbbott Alinity m STI AMP Kit, used with the Alinity m System, product codes: a) REF 09N17-095; b) REF 09N17-090; c) REF 09N17-091;
Abbott has identified an increase of incidences regarding Error Code (EC) 9198 (Positive control is non-reactive) while using the Alinity m HR HPV AMP Kit and Alinity m STI AMP Kit. Certain invalidated positive assay controls can be traced to iron leaching into the Alinity m Lysis Solution from the lysis transfer pump in the Alinity m System.
- 2024-11-06FDA-DeviceClass IIAbbott Alinity m HPV AMP Kit, used with the Alinity m System, product codes: a) REF 09N15-095; b) REF 09N15-090; c) REF 09N15-091

- 2024-05-01FDA-DeviceClass IIAlinity m System, Part Number: 08N53-002
The Alinity m System camera detects whether tubes are "capped." If the camera detects a cap and the retention bar is not present on the sample rack, the system will generate the message 'Error - 6013: Has cap, no retention bar." Abbott has identified an issue concerning the use of certain third-party Universal Transport Medium (UTM) tubes on the Alinity m System. This issue has been observed with Copan UTM-RT 3 mL Without Beads Transport & Preservation Medium for Viral Molecular Diagnostics Testing, Part Number (PN) 3C047N. However, it is possible that other third party manufactured tubes could experience the same issue.

- 2023-12-06FDA-DeviceClass IIAlinity m HCV AMP kit, List (REF) Numbers: a) 08N50-095 and b) 08N50-090. The Alinity m HCV assay is an in vitro reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for use with the automated Alinity m System to detect and quantitate hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in human serum or plasma.
Abbott has received reports of an increase in reactive negative controls and false positive results in patient samples when using the Identified Lots of Alinity m HCV AMP Kit.
- 2023-04-12FDA-DeviceClass IIAbbott Alinity m System, REF 08N53-002, containing Amplification Detetction Unit (ADU) #4.
