Reason for Recall

Due to software defect, under certain assay parameters, false Vitamin D results may be reported. The system reports a false result by not quantitating the correct analyte peak in sample chromatogram. The resulting sample would show a Vitamin D-concentration that is an unusual situation for human serum and plasma samples and would indicate a severe Vitamin D deficiency.
