What the authority reported

Werfen has identified that two beads within the LIFECODES LSA class II assay kit(s) may present different DQB1 specificities than previously understood: • Bead 42 / Antigen ID 242 Previously associated with DQB1*02:01, this bead instead presents DQB1*02:02 • Bead 44 / Antigen ID 244 Previously associated with DQB1*02:02, this bead instead presents DQB1*02:01 • Note: DQA1*02:01 is present on both beads and therefore not impacted. Due to this issue, certain reactivity patterns may appear differently than expected.

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.
