VITROS Immunodiagnostic Anti-HBc Controls Recalled Due to Incorrect Booklet Information
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics recalled 191 units of VITROS Anti-HBc IgM Controls (Lot 1690) because the Controls Values booklet contained incorrect product information. Although patient test result accuracy is not affected, there is potential for delayed quality control troubleshooting.
What this means for you
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class III recall involving a documentation and labeling error in a control materials booklet. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the source explicitly states that the accuracy of patient test results is not affected. The hazard is limited to potential delays in quality control troubleshooting.
Plain-English summary

The recall was issued because the Controls Values booklet included with some units contained information for an incorrect product.
