[Source coverage and dates](https://isitonrecall.com/sources/). ## What the record says - **Product**: Access Erythropoietin (EPO), Catalog Number - A16364 a glycoprotein (~30,400 Daltons) produced primarily by the kidney, is the principal factor regulating red blood cell production (erythropoiesis) in mammals. Renal production of EPO is regulated by changes in oxygen availability. Under conditions of hypoxia, the level of EPO in the circulation increases and this leads to increased production of red blood cells. - **Reason**: Affected lot (439363) exhibited a negative dose drop of -22% with native patient samples compared to alternate reagent lots. Patient samples tested with the affected lot may demonstrate repeatable falsely decreased results, which may lead to improper diagnosis or repeat testing. - **Classification**: Class II - **Recalling firm**: Beckman Coulter, Inc. - **Quantity**: 498 US; 1576 OUS - **Agency-reported status**: Ongoing - **Source record identifier**: Z-1249-2025 [Open the official record](https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number%3A%22Z-1249-2025%22) [What the recall classes mean](https://isitonrecall.com/guides/recall-classes/).
