Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 An increase in background counts elevates the results of low level samples up to approximately 6mIU/mL. This is not enough to shift a negative result to positive on an undiluted sample. If low level samples are diluted then the background effect is magnified potentially yelding false positive results for pregnancy and or Dilution Inaccuracy.
