Reason for Recall

The slides do not meet the maximum allowable interference (MAI) claims for triglyceride interference when using serum samples. Triglyceride interference on the Cl- Slide was observed around a triglyceride concentration 600mg/dL, however the current triglyceride interference claim states interference should not occur below 800mg/dL of triglyceride.
