Recalled Products

A. Immage Immunochemistry Systems Properdin Factor B
B. Vigil Protein Control

Reason

Beckman Coulter has confirmed differences in recovery of PFB in Vigil protein control using PFB reagent lots M206298, M301364, M302049 compared to values obtained using previous PFB reagent lots. These control differences are due to a change in the pool of antiserum material that is used in the manufacture of the PFB reagent. The control range tables included in Vigil protein control lots M210051, M210052 and M210053 do not reflect PFB values obtained with PFB reagent lots M206298, M301364 and M302049.
