Recall Details

Company:
Sysmex America, Inc.
Reason for Recall:
There is potential that fluorescent platelet (PLT-F) and immature platelet fraction (IPF%, #) results obtained using the lots listed above may exhibit lower than actual PLT-F and IPF values. The issue may be recognized by a large discrepancy between the impedance platelet (PLT-I) result and the PLT-F result. In most cases, the falsely decreased PLT-F results display a PLT Abn Scattergram message with an asterisk beside the result or an Action Message: Difference between PLT and PLT- F. Check the results. These are indicators of unreliable data. In rare instances, platelet flags may be absent. The PLT-I results are unaffected.
Classification:
Class I - Dangerous

Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.

Status:
completed
