Plain-English summary
Princeton Biomeditech Corp is recalling Osom Ultra hCG Combo Test kits (Model/Catalog Number 1004, Lot 563L13) distributed in Missouri. The recall affects 1,860 kits containing 50,220 test devices.
The recall was initiated due to false negative test results reported by customers. One healthcare user reported that the recalled lot produced false negative hCG results from two urine samples that were confirmed positive by quantitative hCG testing and ultrasound. During further investigation, six additional devices were found to produce false negative results when testing urine samples with confirmed hCG presence.
Osom Ultra hCG Combo Test is an immunoassay designed to qualitatively detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in serum or urine for early pregnancy confirmation. False negative results mean the test failed to detect hCG when it was actually present.
If you have purchased this product lot, do not use it for hCG testing. Contact your healthcare provider for alternative pregnancy confirmation methods.
