Reason

Manufacturer detected a performance issue with the reagent 1 component. This issue may result in quality control values shifting out of acceptable range, which is not resolved by recalibration. Only replacement of the impacted lots with a new lot resolves the issue. In addition, some customers have reported erratic patient results. Manufacturer's investigation has determined that this issue is isolated to the 3 impacted lots.
