Manufacturer Narrative

After shipment, stability test performed on the kit lot has shown that the kit functions as expected and hence the kit can be used through-out the original shelf-life.Therefore, the matter is deemed to not affect patient safety.Since the kit lot was already shipped with the shorter shelf-life, this expiry date must be adhered to, but since the new date is not stated on the alert sticker and the original kit box label remained on the kit box stating the original expiration date, it could be considered misbranding which is the reason for the recall.The recall decision was taken by the quality review board 2017-05-22.All affected countries regulatory authorities, as well as all affected euro diagnostica customers, have been notified of the recall.A field safety notice was sent out.The extent of the problem is presently deemed to be only fana200 ts 3577.

Event Description

Fana200 kit lot ts 3577 was re-worked due to shortened shelf-life.The alert sticker on the kit box of the lot informed customers that the shelf-life had been shortened and referenced a letter sent to customers for more information, where the new expiration date was stated.The original kit box label remained on the kit box stating the original expiration date.The alert sticker did not have the new expiration date stated on it.It has now come to euro diagnostica's attention that it would have been preferable to have had the new expiration date stated on the alert sticker.A recall of the lot has therefore been initiated.
