Reason

Abbott Molecular identified that some of the 5 ml Reaction Vessels (RVs) contained in lots 56944001, 57026001, 57059001, and 57673001 (original vendor lot 2198077) may have an insufficient rim. An RV with an insufficient rim may not be held securely in the 1 mL Subsystem Carrier. This may cause the RV to be seated incorrectly in the carrier or drop through it.
