Reason

Inova Diagnostics, Inc. recently discovered that some of the glass slides have the incorrect product description on the masking of the slide. Approximately 3% of the glass slide lot received from the supplier contains the incorrect description of "e-ANCA" instead of "HEp-2" on the masking. The barcode on the glass slide correctly reflects the " HEp-2" product information, and the performance of the slides is not in any way affected by this error.
