Description

BIO-RAD BioPlex 2200 REF 12000651 Syphilis Total & RPR Calibrator Set CAL The BioPlex 2200 Syphilis Total & RPR Calibrator Set is intended for the calibration of the BioPlex 2200 Syphilis Total & RPR Reagent Pack.

Reason

Due to two issues: 1) Customer complaints associated with greater than expected Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) reactivity which does not confirm with treponemal antibody test which may be due to a positive correlation between the mass COVID vaccinations and false reactive RPR results, and 2) During routine stability monitoring, an increase in mean bias above specification was observed which can cause elevated RPR reactivity potentially due to early shelf-life failure.
