Reason for Recall

A field correction was issued by the firm for VITROS TSH reagent lot 5040 due to a higher than expected frequency of customer calibration curves falling outside of the calibration quality parameters and therefore unusable to process samples. Customers using VITROS TSH Lot 5040 will potentially experience an unexpected increase in the unsuccessful calibrations potentially causing a delay in testing and reporting results for VITROS TSH.
