Meridian Bioscience recalls specific lots of Difficile Nucleic Acid Amplification Test Assay kits due to potential buffer leakage from missing rubber gaskets. Affected kits may have reduced buffer volume and leakage risks.
The cap on the reaction buffer tube may be missing the black rubber gasket resulting in the potential for leakage and reduced buffer volume.
Meridian Bioscience is recalling certain lots of Difficile Nucleic Acid Amplification Test Assay kits because the cap on the reaction buffer tube might be missing a black rubber gasket. This could cause leakage and reduce buffer volume, potentially affecting test accuracy.
