| Reason/Issue |
There is a potential for elevated recoveries from patient samples when using individual c packs of Tina-quant HbA1c Gen.2. This phenomenon has been noticed across multiple lots when the reagent has inadvertently been frozen. This issue may lead to erroneously high HbA1c results. |

| Recall Action Instructions |
Users are to ensure the correct storage conditions of +2 to +8 °C are maintained as per IFU and if freezing was suspected, a control measurement should be performed. It was also recommended at this time to perform QC on each reagent cassette. Users are to carry out QC every 24 hr when using the cassette, and with each new cassette. If QC cannot be kept within the specified range, the respective reagent cassette should not be used for further measurement. Consider switching to the Gen.3 reagent which is less susceptible to low temperatures.
