Why was VITROS Immunodiagnostic VITROS Folate Reagent Pack 1/2 recalled?

It was confirmed that fibrinogen in patient plasma samples precipitates out of solution upon the addition of folate stabilizer reagent as part of the pre-treatment process causing the increase in "TM5-4MB" condition codes which lead to a delay of results.
