Reason for recall
Retrospectively reported correction for an instrument intended for targeted sequencing of DNA libraries from human genomic DNA used with in vitro diagnostic assays has a server with a security vulnerability.
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.
