Where it was sold
Why it was recalled
Low PO2 results. QC failures of the PO2 parameter, affecting primarily Levels 1 and 2, caused by a calibration issue with the PO2 parameter. This issue may not be detected since QC results can be below mean values, but still within 2 standard deviations (SD) limits. Potential for erroneously low PO2 results in patient samples, especially in blood samples with PO2 values below 50 mmHg
