Why it was recalled

An issue was discovered with the Pacific Hemostasis Fibrinogen Degradation Products (FDP) kit, list number 100650, lot 948546 and FDP Latex Reagent, list 100651, lot 890199. While the kit performs accurately at FDP concentrations greater than 20 ¿g/ml, there is an observed reduction in sensitivity when FDP levels are less than 20 ¿g/ml. This reduction in sensitivity has been tied to FDP Latex Reagent lot 890199 and may result in false negatives.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
