Why it was recalled
Some N1 and N2 master mix pouches packaged within the lots of BioGX SARS-CoV-2 Reagents for BD MAX System may be mislabeled. This could result in a kit containing two pouches of N1 master mix or two pouches of N2 master mix, instead of one pouch of each. If laboratory personnel do not notice that both pouches contain tubes with the same color foil seal and use two of the same tubes, there is a low potential for a false negative SARS-CoV-2 result. A false negative SARS-CoV-2 result could lead to an increased risk of disease progression for the patient and additional spread of SARS-CoV-2 if the patient is not quarantined.
This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
