Reason for recall
Luminex has determined that three (3) separate test fixtures used by field service engineers to service the VERIGENE SP Processors were procured from unapproved sources and, in some cases, were manufactured using unvalidated processes. These text fixtures were used to calibrate and verify VERIGENE SP devices.
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.
