- Reason
- A pinhole caused by the laser printer in the aluminum sheet over the ALP reagent wells caused leakage through the pinhole. If the cartridge with leakage is used, higher measurement value as low as +12% and no higher than +20% bias may be obtained.
- Root cause
- Process control
- Action
- The firm, Polymedco, initiated a recall by telephone and followed with email on 4/30/18 to inform users to inspect the reagent cartridges for evidence of leakage from the ALP well and to discard cartridges that had evidence of leakage. Polymedco will replace any affected reagent cartridges. If you have any questions, contact Polymedco Technical Support at the 1.800.431.2123 Ext 285.
