FDA Enforcement Class II Terminated

Perkin Elmer Genetic Screening Processor (GSP) Product Code: 2021-0010 Product Usage: The GSP instrument is a fully automated, high throughput batch analyzer for time- resolved and prompt fluorescence analysis of samples in microtitration plates. It is intended for in vitro quantitative / qualitative determination of analytes in body fluids. The reagent kits running on the GSP instrument are used to test blood specimens dried on filter paper as an aid in screening newborns for congenital disorders. Currently assays for the determination of T4, TSH, 17OHP, IRT and GALT are cleared and available for use with the GSP instrument.
