Why Was This Recalled?

According to the firm carry over was observed when the Lipase test is run directly before or after the LDL and Triglycerides assays. Customers are instructed to amend the running order for all instruments using these reagents to ensure Lipase is not place directly before or after LDL or Triglycerides. A correction was made to the IFU for the Lipase assay and all customers who purchased the Lipase kit in the USA were contacted with the updated instruction.
