ActionAbbott Molecular sent a Field Advisory Notice letter to all RealTime HIV-1, CT/NG and HBV assay customers on December 20, 2010, informing them that internal testing identified the potential of under filled and over filled enzyme vials which may result in obtaining less than the total number of tests per kit as described in the package insert. The customers were told that specimens that meet acceptance criteria, per the product labeling are not affected by the situation and are considered valid results, and that the issue has no impact on results for those runs that generate valid results.
