Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
Sample preparation system with software may cause: 1) Multidispense feature enabled with 2-tube assay: Specimen volume dispensed into tube1 at least 3% higher than volume in tube2, or 2) Absolute counts calculated using Trucount Tubes: increased volume in tube1 may result in 20% higher absolute counts in tube 1 than tube 2; could result in additional blood collection, delayed results/patient therapy.
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.
