    Reason

    Alere San Diego is recalling Alere Triage BNP Calibrators for the Beckman Coulter Access Family of Immunoassay Systems because the bottle labeled as Calibrator Level 5 actually contains Calibrator Level 4. This results in a calibration failure when attempting to calibrate using a calibrator kit which contains the affected Level 5 Calibrator.
