Reason for recall

Some VITROS¿ Chemistry Products Vapor Adsorption Cartridge CAT No. 6800100 cartons incorrectly contain a Particulate Cartridge Part No. J19612. In some instances, the Particulate Cartridge has been inadvertently installed on the VITROS¿ System instead of the intended VITROS¿ Vapor Adsorption Cartridge which may bias results.

Code information

CAT No. 680 0100; the cartridges do not have lot numbers.
