Description

Reason

The negative control was contaminated with one of the positive control pathogens (Norovirus). This would result in users getting a positive call for Norovirus when running the negative control.

On 1/25/2024, the firm issued letters dated 1/24/2024 via email to notify consignees they have expanded the recall to include additional lot numbers.
