Why it was recalled

Ortho confirmed that it is possible for the mis-association of sample identification and assay results due to an error with Thermo Fishers centrifuge module. It is possible for mis-associated assay results to be reported from the laboratory prior to the identification of the Cross Check error on the enGen Laboratory Automation System. Assay results associated with the wrong patient and reported out of the laboratory could lead to inappropriate intervention with the potential for serious injury to the patient.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
