    Description

    BD FACS Sample Prep Assistant (SPA) III - Product Usage: Prep Assistant III is intended to prepare human whole blood for flow cytometric analysis on BD FACSCanto II and BD FACSCalibur flow cytometry systems. Pipetting blood, reagents, and lysing solution using the following previously cleared assays for flow cytometric analysis on BD FACSCanto II flow cytometry systems

    Reason

    The recalling firm confirmed that SPA II and III users may encounter probes with unacceptable wear prior to reaching the 2500 piercings guideline indicated in the Instructions for Use (IFU). When the probe is worn, particles from the rubber cap are more likely to clog the probe, resulting in blocked or inadequate sample dispense.
