VIDAS RUB IgG Diagnostic Test Kit Recalled for Substrate Defect
bioMerieux is recalling three lots of VIDAS RUB IgG test kits due to substrate errors that prevent the test from running, potentially delaying diagnostic results.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall of a medical device with an operational defect. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is functional rather than a direct safety threat. The substrate error causes test failure requiring re-testing, which primarily impacts diagnostic timing rather than patient safety.
Plain-English summary
bioMerieux, Inc., is recalling three lots of VIDAS RUB IgG (RBG), REF 30226 diagnostic test kits due to a substrate error affecting the test cartridges. The defect prevents the test from running properly, which means affected tests cannot complete and users must run another test to obtain results.
The recall affects three specific lot numbers: 1008694980, 1008700260, and 1008828980. These products were distributed nationwide throughout the United States.
No illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with this recall. The primary concern is operational—the substrate error causes test failures that result in delayed diagnostic results.
Facilities currently using affected VIDAS RUB IgG test kits should stop use of the identified lot numbers and contact bioMerieux for replacement products or further guidance.
