Medical Device
Hazard classification:
Type III

Health Canada
Issue:

Identification number:
RA-43641

Recalled products

  1. ADVIA Centaur CP System - Progesterone (PRGE) Assay
  2. ADVIA Centaur System - Progesterone Assay

Reason

There is a high bias on results greater than 30 ng/ml (95.4 nmol/l) when compared to the master curve when using select ADVIA centaur progesterone kit lots. The high bias may cause neat serum samples with results greater than 60 ng/ml (190.8 nmol/l) to recover within the assay range upon dilution (dilution factor applied). Samples with values below 30 ng/ml (95.4 nmol/l) do not demonstrate this bias.
