Brand Name: Vacuette Product Name: 8 ml CAT Serum Separator Clot Activator Model/Catalog Number: 455071P Product Description: Greiner VACUETTE Blood Collection Tube with Clot Activator and Gel Sepa
Some of the Vacuette¿ CAT Serum Separator Clot Activator tubes were manufactured without gel separator, which could yield erroneous assay results and require the patient to return to the lab for recollection or repeat testing. This may result in delayed diagnosis, cause a delay in clinical decision-making or treatment and in some rare cases, yield incorrect results from less stable parameters.

VACUETTE TUBE 4 ml FX Sodium Fluoride/Potassium Oxalate, Item #454297, 13x75 grey cap-black ring, non-ridged.
Tubes have missing additive/anticoagulant resulting in clotting in most cases. A completely clotted sample would lead to no results being reported, which could lead to a delay in treatment or diagnosis. An erroneous glucose or lactose result from a partially clotted sample could lead to inappropriate treatment.
