The customer, (b)(6), reported an observation of aptima multitest collection tubes that did not contain the cotton layer (pile) within the penetrable cap. The customer continued analysis with specimen tubes from an alternative unaffected lot. Review of the returned items revealed that the lack of a cotton layer is not the result of damage or misuse. The foil seals on the affected tubes returned to site were intact, and when opened the cotton layer was found to be missing. It was concluded that the affected tubes have been manufactured with caps that did not contain the cotton layer. It was determined the incorrect cap (pn 502212) was used to manufacture a small number of mutltitest tubes, pn ffl-00421 ln 184791h.
