Recalled Products

A. Dako Beta-2-Microglobulin Kit

Reason

Dako has requested that Bec distribute the Dako recall notification letter, which has been issued due to the stability of the single component of the kit (Vial 1 Beta-2- microglobulin immunoparticles). According to Dako's notification, investigations have shown that a change in the Ph value in the beta-2-microglobulin immunoparticles has occurred, resulting in low or no signal for the two lowest standards in the calibration curve. In addition, the identified change in the Ph value may affect the accuracy of the beta-2-microglobulin values and results obtained, without any warnings from the instruments.
