Why these products were recalled

The Control Level I material value was showing results exceeding the upper limit of the acceptable range after a period of three (3) months. The unacceptable Control Level 1 value results in the Analyzer generating an error code which stops further testing and nullifies associated patient samples, resulting in a delay in patient results and a potential delay in therapeutic modifications.

The Control Level I material value was showing results exceeding the upper limit of the acceptable range after a period of three (3) months. Additionally, per the firm, the unacceptable Control Level 1 value results in the Analyzer generating an error code which stops further testing and nullifies associated patient samples, resulting in a delay in patient results and a potential delay in therapeutic modifications.

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.
