Where it was sold
Why it was recalled
Unpaired lots of AU lyophilized chemistry calibrator level 1 and 2 have been distributed. Calibrator level 1 and 2 must be paired when used for calibration and cannot be used in any other combination. If lot numbers are not correctly paired, calibration can be run using incorrect set points which may generate erroneous results. QC failures could occur if incorrect pairs of calibrators are used.
