Dear Mailbase

 

Warning to Chirus Biosign urine HCG users.

 

We have experienced anomalous pregnancy test results with BioSign RC hCG POCT Urine testing cassettes lot 615A161 when read on the DXpress reader -

 i.e. obtained negative results which have confirmed positive by serum BHGC on mainline analyser. This is a lot specific issue.
