Quantimetrix Urine Chemistry Control Set Recalled for Temperature Exposure

Mckesson Medical-Surgical is recalling Quantimetrix Urine Chemistry Control Sets shipped without validated summer packaging, potentially exposing them to temperatures above 25°C.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard is a potential delay in patient results due to temperature exposure, which is a functional defect rather than a direct physical injury or high-risk pathogen exposure, fitting the Moderate criteria for low-risk contamination or functional issues without reported harm.
