Why these products were recalled

Possible drug interference when using the Trinder reaction method on multiple Cobas Analyzers. Results of Trinder tests may be falsely decreased when the tests are run with urine samples (Creatinine plus and Uric Acid applications only) or blood samples collected before sufficient time has lapsed after the administration of the drugs Acetaminophen and N-acetylcysteine.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
