Manufacturer Reason for Recall | A high mean bias (12-16%) was documented in 8 lots of i-STAT PT/INR cartridges. This may lead a clinician to believe that a patient is adequately anticoagulated when they are not. Inadequate anticoagluation therapy may be given and issues with clotting and/or thrombosis could occur. No reports of injury have been received. |
