Description

HARDY DIAGNOSTIC McFarland Standard 0.5; in vitro diagnostic, glass vial, one vial per box

Reason

Incorrect result: The absorbance has changed as the standards have aged; the standards' turbidity has become denser. The recalled lot is now reading 0.15 ABS @ 625 nm. TREK'S internal specification and the manufacturer's (Hardy Diagnostics) specification is 0.08 - 0.10 ABS @625 nm. CLSI specifies 0.08 - 0.13 ABS @ 625 nm.

Action

On 9/22/2008 TREK Diagnostic sent a recall notification letter to their customers advising them of the problem with the product. They instructed their customers to inventory their stock for any remaining recall lot and immediately destroy.
