Action Taken
The recalling firm issued letters dated and issued on 2/1/2024 via FedEx priority overnight express mail. The letter explained the background, potential impact, and necessary actions to be taken and contained an appendix listing Impacted Abbott Products and an appendix listing CE products and similar US products. The actions to be taken were to destroy all remaining inventory of the impacted products and contact their local Abbott representative for replacements. If the product has been forwarded to other laboratories, the consignee is requested to inform them of the recall and have them take the necessary actions. The letter states that laboratories should follow internal procedures in regard to a lookback of results and a lookback should be considered if results have been released that are tied to performance claims. A Customer Reply Form was enclosed to acknowledge receipt of the letter. The consignee was to record the amount of affected product that was destroyed.
