Microgenics Recalls Thermo Scientific Omni IMMUNE Immunoassay Controls Due to Stability Issues

Microgenics is recalling Thermo Scientific MAS Omni IMMUNE and Omni IMMUNE PRO controls because internal testing showed reduced stability for CK-MS and Insulin.

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 III, which is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The issue is a stability defect in a laboratory control product, not a direct patient safety hazard like a contaminated drug or device.
