Why it was recalled

Certain lots of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) do not meet the thirty (30) day open vial adjustor stability claim when reconstituted and stored at 2-8C, as published in the Instructions for Use (IFU). Adjustors stored at 2-8C after 14 days may show a bias in patient samples and quality control falling outside of published ranges. Lookback not recommended.
