United StatesLumipulse G pTau217/B-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma Ratio (Catalog CL0073) and associated Lumipulse G pTau 217 Plasma immunoreaction cartridges (Cat. 81550), calibrators (Cat. 81557), controls (Cat. 81558) and related kits (Cats. 235447, 235454, 81559) with the listed UDI/lot numbers are affected. They were recalled because users may obtain falsely elevated positive or indeterminate ratio results, leading to incorrect classification of amyloid pathology associated with Alzheimer’s disease and/or prompting additional clinical testing.

The hazard
Customers may experience inaccurate test results by observing a higher frequency of classification in the indeterminate and positive zone and/or low specificity when compared back to FDA-cleared CSF ratio/PET imaging, due to falsely elevated positive ratio or falsely elevated indeterminate ratio results causing an incorrect classification of a patient as having amyloid pathology associated with Alzheimer s disease (positive result) and/or requiring more clinical testing of that patient (indeterminate result).
What to do
Don't stop taking a prescribed medicine without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first. For other products, stop using them and ask the pharmacist, seller or maker what to do.
