Reason for recall

There is a potential for low discordant progesterone results on a subset of patient samples. A falsely low progesterone result may lead to the consideration for additional progesterone supplementation.

Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
