Reason for recall
New endogenous interference claims have been established for the following assays used on the cobas c 311 analyzer and the cobas c 501, 502, 701, 702, and Modular Analytics P/D modules which may have potential medical risk. ***Update: Cobas c111 and COBAS INTEGRA 400 plus analyzers are also impacted for BILT3 and LACT2 assays***
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.
