| Classification | Class III |
| Code Info | Lots 742 and 743 |
| Product Distributed Qty | Lot 742= 8 units all foreign consignees) Lot 743=7 units (all foreign consignees) |
| Reason For Recall | The recall was initiated because Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics confirmed an under-recovery of dose values with some vials of Coat-A-Consta (CAC) IRMA TSH calibrators TSI4 (level B), TSI5 (level C), TSI6 (level D), TSI8 (level F), and TSI9 (level G) lot 035. The affected calibrator vials can be identified by a darker yellow color than normal. The TSI3 (level A), TSI7 (level E), and TSIX (level H) lot 035 calibrator vials are not affected. The darker yellow calibrator vials yield a 15-20% lower dose values compared to the target values. This may result in out of range (+2 SD) controls. |
