Accumetrics is recalling the VerifyNow IIb/IIIa 10-Test because it contains incorrect information for the amount of time in which to perform the test following collection of the patient sample. The correct instruction is to perform the test within 15 minutes of collecting the patient sample.
The recall was initiated by Accumetrics because of a field correction to the VerifyNow System; specifically the results reported when running the VerifyNow P2Y12 Test. Currently the VerifyNow P2Y12 Test reports three values: PRU, BASE and % Inhibition. The change implemented is the elimination of the BASE and % Inhibition results. There will be no change to the reporting of the PRU result whic
