- Reason for recall

Beginning with lot ED0341, the new IFU will be packaged in the carton with the IBCT Flex reagent cartridges. Consignees were requested to forward the notification letter to anyone to whom the product was distributed. The Siemens Technical Solutions Center can be contacted at 800-441-9250.
