Binding Site Human IgM Kit Recalled for Reduced Accuracy

The Binding Site Group is recalling 108 units of Human IgM Kits due to reduced accuracy in control results and potential out-of-range readings.

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 II, and the hazard involves reduced accuracy in test results without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

Plain-English summary

The Binding Site Group, Ltd. is recalling 108 units of the Binding Site Human IgM Kit (for SPAPLUS), Reference NK012.S. The affected lots are 407483-1 and 407483-2. The device consists of reaction buffer, sheep anti-IgM antiserum, six calibrators, and two controls, all containing sodium azide as a preservative.

The recall was initiated because the recovery of the IgM kit control results decreases after running the calibration curve, demonstrating a reduction in accuracy within the same day. Control results may be out of range one day after running the assay calibration curve, and samples have been shown to be similarly affected.

The affected units were distributed in Illinois, West Virginia, Nebraska, South Dakota, New York, Indiana, Washington, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, and Virginia. Users should stop using the affected kits and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
