Manufacturer Reason for Recall | Use of the kits after incorrect storage could lead to a potential false-negative or invalid result. In the event of a false-negative, the incorrect assumption would be made as to the cause of patient symptoms. The appropriate treatment may not be administered, and symptoms may progress. Additional evaluations will be completed and documented within the associated Health Hazard Evaluation. |
