What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device where a defect (higher limits of detection) may lead to false negative results, representing a risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Roche Diagnostics Corporation is recalling 14,398 units of the URISYS 1100 Urine Analyzer (Part Number: 03617556001). The device is a reflectance photometer designed to automatically read and evaluate the results of Chemstrip 5 OB, Chemstrip 7, Chemstrip 10 MD, and Chemstrip 10 UA urine test strips. The recall covers all serial numbers and involves US nationwide distribution.

The recall was initiated because the Limits of Detection (LoD) for protein, nitrite, leukocytes, and erythrocytes on the analyzer were higher than what is listed in the test strip method sheets. This discrepancy may lead to false negative results for the affected parameters.

Healthcare facilities and laboratories using the URISYS 1100 Urine Analyzer should contact Roche Diagnostics Corporation for instructions on how to return the affected units or obtain a replacement.
