What the authority reported
Routine quality control testing of affected blood culture identification panel with affected control panel may need to be amended, due to control panel/instrument characteristic changes, that lead C. tropicalis to be amplified in some portion of test runs, but then it's reported as "Not Detected" because the assay amplicon Tm is outside the acceptable limit assigned for calling positive results.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
