Technopath Manufacturing Ltd. has identified an issue with the glass vial commodity used to fill the Multichem S Plus Level 1, Multichem S Plus Level 2, Multichem S Plus Level 3, Multichem IA Plus and Multichem P Controls. Some customers have experienced broken vials when receiving or thawing Technopath Multichem IA Plus and Multichem S Plus Controls. Breakages have been observed upon delivery, while thawing or while opening the vial.
