Why it was recalled

Bio-Rad received four customer complaints from 11/30/2022 to 12/21/2022 on BioPlex 2200 Anti-CCP Kit (Lot 301481) stating that results were discrepant while performing lot-to-lot validation against previous lots. Internal testing at Bio-Rad has demonstrated that Lot No. 301481 exhibits a specificity of 94.5% (95% CI 91.8 96.4) whereas the IFU indicates a specificity of 97.8% (95% CI 96.1 98.8%). The reduction in specificity may lead to an increase in the number of false positives.
