Reason

The product was shipped after its expiry date due to a system error. The product lidstock identifies the correct expiration date however the accompanying purchase order shipping documentation identifies an incorrect expiration date. Per standard clinical practice the lidstock would most likely be checked prior to use and the product would not be used leading to a minor delay while a replacement is located. In the unlikely event that the product lidstock is not checked prior to use, there is potential for use of expired product, and product functionality/or sterility cannot be guaranteed.
