Advia Centaur¿ Systems TnI-Ultra assay recalled

Timeline

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

The solid phase reagent in some of the ADVIA Centaur¿ TnI -Ultra ReadyPacks¿, lot 084, is darker in appearance, creating a potential for incorrect control and patient results.

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.
