Why it was recalled

The concentrations for biotin listed in the non-interfering substances section of the instructions for use for the Dimension TSHL, Dimension LOCI FT4L, Dimension Vista TSH, ADVIA Centaur Cyclosporine, and ADVIA Centaur DHEAS, incorrectly state the level at which biotin does not interfere.

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