Plain-English summary
Abbott Laboratories is recalling Abbott CELL-DYN Ruby and CELL-DYN Sapphire hematology analyzers due to an unlabeled dry natural rubber (latex) subcomponent.

A total of 670 devices are affected—329 distributed in the United States across 33 states plus Puerto Rico (including government and military facilities), and 341 distributed internationally, including Brazil.
