Recall details

Recalling firm

Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc.

Reason for recall

Kit assigned an extended expiration date of 24-Jul-2025 during release. The correct expiration date for Lot 2953 is 24-Jul-2024. If used past its true expiration and the customer does not have their Assay Data Disk (ADD) updated, the system will allow them to use the expired calibrator which may bias the results. However, at this time the calibrator is within its use date and will function appropriately.
