Reason

Recent data generated by Abbott have determined that the measuring interval is 0.40 ng/dl to 5.00 ng/dl. Measuring interval is defined as the range of values in ng/dl which meets the limits of acceptable performance for both imprecision and linearity. The current measuring interval for list numbers 7K65-29, 7K65-34 and 7K65-39 is 0.40 ng/dl to 6.00 ng/dl. A new FT4 assay file and updated package insert will be created reflecting the new measuring interval of 0.40 ng/dl to 5.00 ng/dl to be used with list numbers 7K65-29, 7K65-34 and 7K65-39.
