Why it was recalled

Customers complained of a positive bias in patient results on the IMMULITE/ IMMULITE 1000 and the IMMULITE 2000/ 2000 XPi PSA assay when compared against the IMMULITE /IMMULITE 1000 3rd Generation PSA assay. Siemens has confirmed an overall average positive bias of approximately 20% to 23% across the assay range relative to the WHO 96/670 with the IMMMULITE Systems PSA Assay. This positive bias is observed in patient values and the Siemens Tumor Marker controls (TMCO). Other commercially available controls may show this bias.

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