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.
Distribution
