Action

Diagnostica Stago notified consignees on about 07/21/2025 via emailed letter titled URGENT: MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL (CORRECTION). Consignees were instructed to temporarily systematically run a quality control just before a batch of UFH or LMWH, if you run STA-LIQUID ANTI-Xa in UFH and LMWH applications on your STA SATELLITE analyzer. This request is being asked while Stago works to develop a permanent solution for the analyzer. Consignees were also requested to complete and return the Acknowledgement Form and to notify customers if affected units were transferred or further distributed.
