    Description

    BD Trucount Tubes (Cat. No. 340334), used for determining absolute counts of leucocytes in blood. BD Trucount tubes are designed for use with in vitro diagnostic products such as BD Tritest reagents, and a suitably equipped flow cytometer. BD Trucount tubes can be used with the BD FACS Loader.

    Reason

    Due to partial label detachment on tubes. This can cause tubes to become stuck together in the pouch or cause automation errors when used with the automated loader for the wash assistant. Firm root cause investigation confirmed that label detachment is due to an adhesive change by a tier 2 supplier.
