    Reason

    Routine internal review of Device History Records identified six VITEK(R) 2 AST card lots were manufactured with less drug (gentamicin) than required for the Gentamicin High-Level Resistance (ghlr01n) screen test due to an error when making 1500mL and 2000mL media well preparations (solutions).
