Timeline
| 19 Nov 2019 | Recall initiated by company | |
| 18 Feb 2020 | Classified by FDA | +91 days |
| 26 Feb 2020 | Published in enforcement report | +8 days |
Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
Atellica and ADVIA hsCRP calibrator accuracy has drifted away from the reference materials (ERM-DA470/IFCC), which is causing a high bias on QC and patient sample recovery.
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.
