Reason for recall
A rare condition of the Access 2 Immunoassay Systems software versions 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 could present a risk of an erroneous confirmatory result under a specific set of circumstances. The Chlamydia Blocking results may be affected. The instrument will erroneously perform the blocking calculation on the affected test by using the mean of the diluted and neat results.
