Reason for recall
Due to QMS Tacrolimus Calibrator recovering between 82 to 94% of their target values, resulting in over-quantitation in tacrolimus patient result values when used with the QMS Tacrolimus Immunoassay.
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.
