Recalled Products

STA - Liquid Anti Xa

Reason

The Stago hotline/call center has received some customer complaints regarding a misreading of reagent 1 (substrate) barcode on STA analyzers. Diagnostica Stago has investigated and confirmed that the barcode is incorrectly coded. Consequently, when the barcode is scanned on STA analyzers, the last 3 digits displayed are "066" instead of "366". When the corresponding flyer is scanned, the STA analyzer displays an error message because the lot of the vial does not match with the lot on the flyer.
