Why it was recalled

The recalling firm determined that biased results may occur for specific VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products (MicroWell Assays) at biotin concentrations which are lower than indicated in the current Instructions For Use (IFU). Patients who are taking biotin supplements could potentially have biased sample results for affected assays at biotin concentrations lower than indicated in the current IFU.

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