Why Was This Recalled?

Roche Diagnostics internal investigations in R&D have shown that the claims for biotin interference and the sample stability given in the Elecsys ¿-CrossLaps (¿-CL) assay package insert version 5, could not be reproduced. The ¿-CrossLaps test results contribute to the monitoring of antiresorptive therapy. False low or false normal results may lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosi
