Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II recall of a diagnostic device with incorrect reference ranges that could lead to misdiagnosis or failure to treat.

Plain-English summary
Haemonetics Corporation is recalling TEG 5000 Functional Fibrinogen Reagent, Item No. 07-034, distributed to medical facilities nationwide. The recall affects 3,933 kits in the US and 2,429 kits distributed overseas. All lots of the product are included.
The normal population citrated blood reference ranges stated in the product's instructions for use (IFU) have shifted. The reference ranges in the current IFU no longer reflect the correct normal population values.
If clinicians rely solely on results compared to the outdated normal donor reference ranges in the IFU, they could reach incorrect diagnoses or fail to treat patients requiring treatment. This creates a risk of misdiagnosis and potentially inappropriate clinical decisions.
Haemonetics Corporation is working with the FDA on this Class II recall. Users should review updated instructions and reference ranges, and may need to retest recent patient samples using the corrected reference ranges if clinically appropriate. Contact Haemonetics Corporation for updated information.
