Description

VerifyNow P2Y12 Assay Device Kit, Part Number 85054

Reason

The VerifyNow P2Y12 assay can report an erroneous result instead of an error message when a sample with low hematocrit is run.

Action

The 333 consignees were notified by regular mail or by E-mail on 9/5/2006 -- 9/13/2006. There were four versions of the notification letter tailored to (1) domestic customers; (2) domestic distributors; (3) international customers; and (4) international distributors. Each notification was accompanied by a 'fax back' form which customers were asked to sign and return to Accumetrics as an acknowledgement they received the notification letter. The notification letter instructs consignees that test results with the VerifyNow P2Y12 Assay and all VerifyNow assays should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory data available to the clinician. Caution is advised when testing patients outside the ranges documented in the package insert.
