Recall Details

Company:: BioFire Diagnostics, LLC
Reason for Recall:: Routine quality control testing of affected blood culture identification panel with affected control panel may need to be amended, due to control panel/instrument characteristic changes, that lead C. tropicalis to be amplified in some portion of test runs, but then it's reported as "Not Detected" because the assay amplicon Tm is outside the acceptable limit assigned for calling positive results.
Classification:: Class I - Dangerous
Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.
Status:: ongoing
