Plain-English summary
Universal Meditech Inc. is recalling 40,000 OMTMO One Step Ovulation (LH) Test Strips, Model 200-07, distributed in California, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Wyoming, and Taiwan. The recall includes all test strips manufactured after March 2021, specifically including lot number LH-S-2108-01.
Universal Meditech Inc. initiated the recall because the company is ceasing operations and cannot continue to fulfill post-market responsibilities. Additionally, the FDA found that the manufacturer distributed these test strips without obtaining the required marketing authorization. Although the company claims to hold FDA 510(k) clearances, the FDA has been unable to verify this claim. The company states it purchased the product intellectual property in 2015 from a previous 510(k) holder but has not provided supporting documentation.
The FDA's inspection revealed that Universal Meditech Inc. cannot provide documentation showing the test strips were manufactured in compliance with FDA Quality System Regulations. The company lacks Device History Files, records of controlled storage temperature and humidity, and post-market surveillance documentation including customer complaints and adverse events. Due to these documentation deficiencies, the devices may have unknown performance characteristics and their actual performance cannot be verified.
