Product Description

Reason for Recall

The slides did not meet the current claims for Limit of Blank (LoB), Limit of Detection (LoD) and Limit of Quantification (LoQ) for serum and urine samples and therefore affecting the low end of the measuring range for this assay. The current low end measuring range is 0.05mg/dL for serum and 1.2mg/dL for urine. Based on the CREA testing results for the LoQ, the revised low end CREA measuring range is 0.15mg/dL for serum and 3.2mg/dL for urine.
