Reason

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (Ortho) has initiated this recall due to the potential for higher than expected signal/cutoff (s/c) results outside the control's expected range when using Vitros HBsAg controls (the negative control). The positive shift in results occurs prior to the 5 day opened-reconstituted stability product claim for Vitros HBsAg controls, lots 0860, 0870, 0880, 0890 and 0908. A positive shift with the positive control may also be observed, but the shift is within the control's expected range.
