Description

Reason

Possible false-negative test results: The Sample A Diluent Lot # 50768 assigned to Is-Measles IgG Lot #'s 41108 and 41108B has higher conductivity than normal, which can sporadically interfere with the MAGO Plus/Aptus sensing of and picking up of samples. As a result, if the sample is not picked up/processed, it could lead to the possibility of obtaining false negative results in some cases.
