Reason/Issue Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has confirmed that the IMMULITE 2000/IMMULITE 2000 XPi Italian Cypress allergen lot 206 does not meet the shelf-life stability as indicated on the label. This may lead to single class change decrease (standard classification) in patient results across the current shelf-life of this allergen lot.
