Reason for recall
Various immunoassay enzymes failed product performance, thereby the products do not consistently detect all calibrator and secondary compounds at the levels stated in the labeling.
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.
