Ortho VITROS FSH Reagent Pack Recalled for Potential Biased Results

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics is recalling VITROS FSH Reagent Packs because biotin supplements may cause biased test results at lower concentrations than indicated.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a diagnostic device where the hazard is potential test inaccuracy due to biotin interference, with no reported injuries or illnesses.

Plain-English summary

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics Inc is recalling VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products - FSH Reagent Packs (Catalog Number 1931922). The recall involves 1,955 units distributed in the United States and internationally, including Australia, Canada, China, and various European countries. The affected product lots are identified by codes 2470, 2480, 2490, 2500, 2510, 2520, and 2530.

The recall was initiated because the firm determined that biased results may occur for specific VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products (MicroWell Assays) at biotin concentrations lower than those indicated in the current Instructions For Use (IFU). Patients taking biotin supplements could potentially receive biased sample results for the affected assays at these lower biotin concentrations.

Healthcare facilities and laboratories should stop using the affected reagent packs and contact Ortho Clinical Diagnostics for further instructions. The source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.
