| Reason/Issue |

This in turn could result in light or absent staining, which without any mitigations, could cause a delay or an error in diagnosis. |

| Recall Action Instructions |
The manufacturer is producing new lots and customers will be notified when corrected product is available.
In the interim, affected kits may continue to be used by customers but the affected kits must only be used in conjunction with same-slide controls. These controls must be appropriate for each assay and capable of detecting false negative results.
For assays that directly relate to clinical therapy decision making, it is additionally important to select a same slide positive control tissue with sufficient sensitivity to detect small decreases in intensity that may cause borderline positive cases to appear as negative.
