United StatesThe Brahms KRYPTOR compact REACT (REF 89986) used with Brahms PlGF Plus KRYPTOR (REF 859075N) on KRYPTOR compact PLUS analyzers is recalled; affected lots are 40102+R78, 40102+R79 and 40102+R80 (PlGF REF 859075N: all lots). The recall was issued because customers observed quality control values out of range at QC Level 1 that, if quality controls are not performed according to the Instructions for Use, may be underestimated and could contribute to falsely elevated sFlt‑1/PlGF ratios and a higher‑risk classification for progression to preeclampsia with severe features.

How to identify it
REF: 89986, UDI-DI: 04260157638976, Lots: 40102+R78, 40102+R79, 40102+R80. REF: 859075N, UDI-DI: 04260157632196, All Lots.
The hazard
Customers have observed quality control values out of range at the lowest quality control level (QC Level 1) for the PIGF assay which require troubleshooting steps to resolve. If Quality Controls are not performed according to the Instructions for Use, the underestimation of QC1 may go undetected and could contribute to falsely elevated sFlt-1/PlGF ratio results. A falsely elevated sFlt-1/PlGF ratio may result in a higher-risk classification for progression to preeclampsia with severe features potentially leading to intensified clinical monitoring.
What to do
