Why Was This Recalled?

Three lots of Rapid fFN Specimen Collection kit (901164, 901165, and 904850) contain Rapid fFN Specimen Collection Tubes which may be empty, underfilled, or overfilled with extraction buffer. The transport tubes are used with the Fetal Fibronectin Enzyme Immunoassay and Rapid fFN¿ for the TLiIQ¿ System which aids in assessing the risk of preterm delivery. The use of empty transport tubes or transport tubes containing insufficient extraction buffer volume may result in invalid results and/or delays in obtaining results. Additionally, the use of underfilled tubes may result in false positive results and the use of overfilled tubes may result in false negative results.
