Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
Certain lots of Atellica IM Homocysteine Calibrator and ADVIA Centaur HCY Calibrator do not meet the assay Instructions for Use (IFU) reference interval due to calibrator instability resulting in increased positive bias.
Potency and specification recalls happen when a batch tests outside its approved limits for strength, purity or dissolution, which can mean the dose delivered is higher or lower than labelled.
