Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		A positive bias beyond 5% resulting in a dilution check failure or an unnecessary dilution check correction if the positive bias is greater than 1% and less than 5%. The dilution check correction would be detected by QC; however, if not detected by QC, the calibration curve would be decreased and cause elevated sodium, potassium and chloride patient results.
