Why these products were recalled

There is a potential for falsely depressed creatinine results for patients on phenindione therapy when using the enzymatic methodology. Interference has not been observed with the creatinine Jaffe methodology.

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.
