Identification number:

Reason

ANA200 Kit Lot TS 3577 was reworked due to shortened shelf-life. Alert sticker on the kit box informed customers of shortened shelf life and referenced a letter sent to customers where the new expiration date was stated. New expiration date was not printed on the alert sticker, but should have been. Although it has since been determined that the kit can be used throughout the original shelf-life, the product is considered to be mislabelled which is why it is being recalled. The recall does not affect patient safety.
