| Reason/Issue |
This is a follow up to the Urgent Recall for Product Correction (TGA Reference: RC-2012-RN-01227-1) issued in December 2012. Beckman Coulter has confirmed that undiluted patient samples measured with the AMH Gen II ELISA kit may generate results that are lower than expected, due to interference from complement. The previous communication indicated that diluted test results may exceed their true value and that using undiluted samples did not impact test results. |
