VIDAS - Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZG) Assay

Reason

Following customers complaints for invalid calibration (relative fluorescence value "RFV" calibrator S1 too high and out of RFV range of MLE data) when using one kit of VIDAS VZG (reference 30217) batch 1007410330, an investigation was initiated. The tests confirmed the invalid calibration on the customer's kit with an increase of the calibrator S1 signal.
