Recalled Products

A) Advia Centaur CP System-B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) assay
B) Advia Centaur XP System-B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) assay
C) Advia Centaur System-B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) assay

Reason

There may be an incorrect side label on a small percentage of the Advia Centaur Systems BNP ready packs from reagent lot 038174. Incorrectly labeled ready packs are included within kit lots 43305174, 43278174, 43306174 and 43279174. The human-readable side label may incorrectly identify the ready pack as Advia Centaur Systems FT4 ready pack. The ready pack end label and the barcode end label correctly identify the ready pack as the Advia Centaur Systems BNP ready pack and the ready pack will scan correctly as BNP when loaded onto the Advia Centaur Systems. The kit boxes are correctly labeled as BNP. Other Advia Centaur BNP kit lots ending in 174 are not impacted.
