United StatesIllumina NextSeq 550Dx reagent kits containing flow cells are affected — including High Output Reagent Kit v2.5 (75 cycles) REF 20028870 / HO FC Cart REF 20031098; High Output v2.5 (300 cycles) REF 20028871 / HO FC Cart REF 20026365; and the CN/other regional REF/UDI/lot numbers listed for NextSeq 550Dx kits and flow cells. They were recalled because flow cell gaskets have a quality issue that can cause flow cell leaks during runs, potentially causing run failures, no or insufficient data output, instrument fluidics clogs, or user exposure to toxic substances.

The hazard
An instrument intended for sequencing DNA libraries with in vitro diagnostic assays is used with reagent kits including flow cells that have flow cell gaskets that have a quality issue, which may lead to flow cell leaks during runs, which could cause run failures, that may result in: No/insufficient data output, instrument fluidics clogs, toxic substance exposure to user.
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.
