Why these products were recalled

Product does not meet the Instructions for Use (IFU) claimed Pack Calibration Interval of 10 days. IFU calibration updated interval from 10 days to 3 days for all current and future kit lot numbers

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.
