Reason

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics identified the potential for an accelerated decline in counts per second for the Immulite/Immulite 1000 folic acid (LKFO1) kit lots 335, 336, and 337. This may lead to a failed adjustment before the expiration date, which is indicated on the kit label, is reached.
