Why these products were recalled

The firm is conducting a field correction for the ADVIA Centaur and ADVIA Centaur XP Immunoassay systems, regarding manually loaded sample racks that are improperly loaded or pushed too far on the sample entry queue during normal operation of the ADVIA Centaur and ADVIA Centaur XP Immunoassay systems. Pushing the sample racks may cause misreads of Sample IDs (SID) if the sample rack loading instructions are not followed exactly as described in the ADVIA Centaur or ADVIA Centaur XP Operators Guide.
