Action | Customer notification letters dated 8/25/15 and 9/3/15 were sent to customers to inform them that Alere San Diego is recalling the Alere Cholestech LDX Multianalyte Control because the assigned control ranges for the Total Cholesterol (TC) and Triglyceride (TRG) analytes are incorrect. Customers are informed that the Alere Cholestech LDX Total Cholesterol and Triglyceride assays continue to perform as expected. However, if customers' facility has used the control lot to test Total Cholesterol or Triglycerides as part of their Quality Control program, Alere San Diego recommends that they verify previous results or perform control testing using the replacement Expected Value Card or replacement control materials. The letters also provide customers with actions to be taken. Customers with questions are instructed to contact: Alere San Diego, Inc. 9975 Summers Ridge Road San Diego, CA 92121 U.S.A.
