FDA (Devices) recall action 81746
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
Update to the carryover avoidance technical bulletin to introduce additional steps for reagent carryover avoidance with the Calcium assay on RX instruments. Carryover to the Calcium reagent results may result in falsely elevated or decreased results to both patient and QC samples.
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
Randox Laboratories is recalling Calcium reagents due to a technical bulletin update regarding reagent carryover, which may cause inaccurate test results.
