Reason for Recall
individual components have been labelled with incorrect colours. The red and green colours are opposite to those specified in the product labelling. The EGR1 probe is labelled in green rather than red and the control probe labelled in red rather than green. The expected positive signal pattern in the case of 1x deleted 5q will be 1G2R instead of 1R2G, an incorrect result

Immediately examine your inventory and quarantine all product subject to recall. Cytocell requests that you destroy the remaining inventory. We also suggest that laboratories undertake a review of any results obtained with the affected devices and check that signal patterns were not misinterpreted as a result of the probe being manufactured with the fluorophores the incorrect way around.
