Recalled Products

  1. Acetaminophen-SL Assay
  2. Muligent Acetaminophen Assay

Reason

Sekisui Diagnostics has issued a field correction for the acetaminophen assay, catalog number 2k99-20, 505-10 and 505-30, because the interference for n-acetylcysteine (NAC) has increased (resulting in a larger negative bias in acetaminophen concentration), relative to the level reported in the reagent package insert.
