Reason
Abbott has identified that Calibrator lot 08219BE00 is potentially impacted by an increase in Relative Light Units (RLUs) up to 94%.

Patient values generated using the impacted calibrator lot 08219BE00 may have changed interpretation from reactive to falsely non reactive. Results impacted may present as a (falsely) non reactive result that fall in the range between 0.50 to 0.99 S/CO.
