Why these products were recalled

Atellica CH Microalbumin_2 (¿ALB_2) and the ADVIA Chemistry Microalbumin_2 (¿ALB_2) are not meeting the High-Dose Hook Effect claim/Prozone Effect claim as stated in the Instructions for Use (IFU) on the Atellica CH, Atellica CI Analyzers, ADVIA 1800 Chemistry Systems, ADVIA 2400 Chemistry Systems, and ADVIA Chemistry XPT Systems, may result in erroneously depressed microalbumin patient results.

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.
