| Issue: | The manufacturer has become aware that there is a need to clarify that use of the HemoCue WBC Diff system on patients on chemotherapy, other immunosuppressive therapies or on drugs with immunosuppressive effects, has not been fully evaluated by HemoCue AB. If incorrect results are obtained for these patient populations it could potentially lead to a delay in a dose modification and increased infection risk. |
