Class I - Dangerous
This strain should be resistant to high levels of Gentamicin and be resistant to Gentamicin Synergy. A specific lot was found susceptible to Gentamicin Synergy during in-house testing.
The Lactobacillus acidophilus negative control (item 0243 single KWIK-STIK) contained in the 8164 Cepheid Xpert GBS QC Set and 8165 Cepheid Smart GBS QC Set was found to test positive for Group B Streptococcus (GBS) in some cases. This causes a failure when used as a quality control for the Cepheid Xpert GBS and Cepheid Smart GBS systems. The failure of the quality control test causes a disruption for the testing laboratory which may result in repeated testing or the need for alternative test methods. This recall is applicable to the 8164 and 8165 sets only.

Class I - Dangerous
The products in scope underwent an incorrect rework operation for the porous plasma sprayed coating. Internal testing indicated that the parts may not have sufficient adhesion strength. The scope was identified to be all lots that were porous plasma coated or recoated at a vendor that were then reworked through the internal waterjet rework process. The waterjet rework process for porous plasma coating is not validated for products that were coated at a vendor.
