    • Completed Z-1908-2025 FDA Class II initiated 30 Apr 2025

    Sample probes with defective probe tips, when used with clinical chemistry analyzers, may lead to a lower concentration being dispensed, which may not be detectable by QC checks, which could lead to the reporting of false low test results (Max 34% error at 1.0 microliters and 7% error at 1.6 microliters sample dispensing volume), which may lead to delayed recognition and treatment.

    • Terminated Z-1704-2017 FDA Class II initiated 13 Feb 2017
