Reason for recall

Through internal investigation, it was discovered that a portion of side cassette assemblies (SCAs) back side seal (BSS) did not meet design specification, resulting in partially sealed SCAs. The impact of a partial seal of the BSS could result in potential decrease of volume for each solution in the SCAs and decreased sensitivity or stability of the assay.

FDA-determined cause: Process control
