Patient results determined using this calibrator lot might deviate up to 20%. Controls might not indicate false values.
The firm has initiated a field recall of the Wash1 Kit REF 10680 due to reported inconsistent Lipase values when analyzing patient samples. The firm's internal investigation identified the underlying cause to be an ineffective wash solution resulting in an interference carryover from the triglyceride (TRIG) assay if they are on the same worklist.
