Recalled Products

Reason

Siemens internal investigation confirmed that the Immulite/Immulite 1000 and the Immulite 2000/ 2000 XPi CEA assay does not meet the (within-run precision specifications as per the Immulite/Immulite 1000 and the Immulite 2000/ 2000 XPi IFU's for all in date Immulite CEA kit lots. The Immulite/Immulite 1000 and the Immulite 2000/ 2000 XPi CEA inter-assay (total precision) shows equivalence to the IFU and is therefore not impacted by this issue.
