Official wording

Reason: The product Value Assignment Sheet (VAS) is used in calibration of the device. An erroneous value was included in the VAS which has the potential to generate an incorrect APO B patient result which could exceed the total allowable error for the APO B assay (11.6%). The error results in results with a positive bias up to 42%. However, based on the mitigating factors the risk to health is considered to be negligible or limited.
