Recall details

Recalling firm
Bayer Healthcare, LLC (Diagnostics Division)
Reason for recall
Low QC recovery observed on carbamazepine (CARB) results immediately following a Gentamicin (GENT) assay or a Digoxin (DIG) assay. When GENT or DIG precedes CARB, the CARB test result is artificially low (as much as -25%). PHNY was determined to also exhibit a similar carryover effect on CARB. All others were found not to produce the same reagent probe-based carryover effect.
Action taken
Bayer HealthCare LLC issued a Support Bulletin to all affected Bayer HealthCare LLC Branches on/about 2/17/06 in order to inform them of the issue and to provide them with instructions for this ''field correction''. Customer Bulletins were also issued to the Branches both in the United States and elsewhere for communication with the affected customers.
