| Reason For Recall | It has been determined that cobas b 123 Fluid Pack COOX cuvettes for lot numbers 21426121 and 21426171, exhibit a significant increase in the out-of-box failure rate caused by a change in the thickness in the cuvette layer. Internal investigations found the altered thickness of the cuvette was due to production equipment settings. Cuvettes were produced within specifications, but within the upper limit of the tolerance level which could lead to a significant increase in the out-of box failure rate. |
