Manufacturer Reason for Recall |
The lot has a shape deformity which may lead to a 16% reduction in the volume of the sample or reagent dispensed. In cases where the error is not detected and the affected results are not suppressed, clinical impact may include reduced drug dosage, or false positive or false negative results for bloodborne infectious disease assays when sample results are close to the cut-off value.
