Instrumentation Laboratory Recalls Unapproved HemosIL High Abnormal Control 3 Kits

Instrumentation Laboratory is recalling 84,561 kits of HemosIL High Abnormal Control 3 UNASSAYED because the product lacks FDA 510(k) approval.

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, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or illnesses. The hazard is regulatory (lack of approval) rather than a direct physical safety defect with reported harm, fitting the 'Moderate' criteria for low-risk or voluntary/precautionary contexts where no harm is documented.
