Recalled Products

IDS-ISYS-Wash system

Reason

The ID’s continual quality monitoring program has identified that a very small number of wash solution containers have been manufactured without adding the concentrated solution. The potential hazard associated with the use of the device is an increase in the imprecision and a bias relative to the true concentration of samples measured using the IDS-ISYS assays on board the IDS-ISYS analyser.
