Cytocell recalls RET Distal Probes used in lab DNA testing due to accidental DNA inversion during manufacturing. Affected models have specific catalog and lot numbers.
DNAs used during the manufacture of two affected models were accidentally inverted during manufacturing.
Cytocell is recalling RET Distal Probes used in lab DNA testing because DNA sequences were accidentally inverted during manufacturing. This could lead to inaccurate test results in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) procedures.
The DNA sequences in the probes were accidentally inverted during manufacturing. This inversion could cause inaccurate results in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) tests, which detect specific DNA sequences on chromosomes.
Laboratory researchers and technicians using RET Distal Probes for DNA testing are affected. Those handling the specific catalog numbers and lot dates listed are most at risk.
Check for catalog number LPS509-A and lot numbers 076764, 080124, 082129, 082560, 083247, 083550, or 083850. The product is used in laboratory settings for DNA testing.
Verify the catalog number (LPS509-A) and lot numbers listed in the recall notice.
DNA sequences were accidentally inverted during manufacturing, which could cause inaccurate results in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) tests.
The recall notice does not specify a remedy, so check the product details against the listed catalog and lot numbers to determine if it is affected.
The recall is for potential inaccurate test results, not immediate safety hazards. The danger level is low risk.
