LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Quality Control Kit: Incorrect Lot Numbers
LumiraDx is recalling 83 SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Liquid Quality Control Kits (batch 2002204017) with incorrect vial lot numbers. The kits contain Flu A/B lot numbers instead of SARS-CoV-2 Ag numbers, causing error messages and preventing device use.
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: FDA Class III recall with incorrect lot number assignment that prevents device use. No reported illnesses, injuries, or deaths. The error message prevents misuse rather than causing direct patient harm.
Plain-English summary
LumiraDx is recalling 83 SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Liquid Quality Control Kits (catalog #L016080109002, batch 2002204017) distributed nationwide. The positive and negative control vials in the affected batch have been assigned incorrect lot numbers—specifically, lot numbers designated for SARS-CoV-2 & Flu A/B products instead of the SARS-CoV-2 Ag lot numbers that should have been used.
The LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Quality Controls are designed to verify that the LumiraDx Instrument is operating within specification during COVID-19 testing. Due to the incorrect lot number assignment, users who attempt to use these kits will receive an error message, preventing them from validating their device functionality.
The recalled kits have an expiration date of March 1, 2023. If you have received batch 2002204017, do not use the affected quality control kits. Contact LumiraDx for guidance on replacement or disposal of the product.
