Greiner Bio-One recalls VACUETTE 4ml FX tubes with missing anticoagulant that may cause blood clots, leading to inaccurate test results and delayed treatment. Affected tubes have specific color and model numbers.
Tubes have missing additive/anticoagulant resulting in clotting in most cases. A completely clotted sample would lead to no results being reported, which could lead to a delay in treatment or diagnosis. An erroneous glucose or lactose result from a partially clotted sample could lead to inappropriate treatment.
Greiner Bio-One is recalling VACUETTE 4ml FX blood collection tubes because they may clot due to missing anticoagulant. This could cause inaccurate test results, delayed diagnosis, or improper treatment if blood samples are used for glucose or lactose tests.
The tubes lack the proper anticoagulant, causing blood to clot inside the tube. This can lead to no test results being reported or incorrect glucose/lactose readings, which might delay treatment or cause wrong medical decisions.
People who use these specific blood collection tubes for medical testing are affected. Those who have recently collected blood samples using the recalled tubes may be at risk of inaccurate results.
Check for the 13x75 grey cap with black ring, non-ridged design. The tubes have lot number A221135N and expire March 2, 2024.
