Reason for recall

A specific lot of bovine serum albumin (BSA) used for manufacturing of coated tubes (CT) that are included in the Estrone RIA kit lots caused different affinity of manufactured coated tubes to patient samples, causing falsely increased assay results for the impacted Estrone RIA kits.

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.
