Reason

During an internal investigation the Ceruloplasmin Assay (Cat 20764663322 Lot 19395501/only lot imported in Canada) will need to have the sensitivity limit parameter changed when used on the Cobas C311/C501/C502/C701/C702 until further notice. Higher signals could be generated causing problems with the upper sensitivity limit that could generate error alarms that would prevent performing any measurements.
