Why these products were recalled

Sample probes with defective probe tips, when used with clinical chemistry analyzers, may lead to a lower concentration being dispensed, which may not be detectable by QC checks, which could lead to the reporting of false low test results (Max 34% error at 1.0 microliters and 7% error at 1.6 microliters sample dispensing volume), which may lead to delayed recognition and treatment.

A manufacturing defect in the sample probe (S probe). The corners of the tip of the defective S probe are rounded and chamfered, which can prevent the proper formation of the "air layer" required for normal dispensing. The air layer is the air space that separates the cleaning water filled in the probe from the sample sucked into the probe. Maintaining this air space prevents the cleaning water and the sample from mixing. In the defective S probe, the "air layer" was not properly formed, causing the cleaning water and the sample to mix diluting the sample. As a result, the sample mixture dispe…

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.
