Abbott Alinity i 25-OH Vitamin D Reagent Kit Recall for Manufacturing Defect

Abbott is recalling specific lots of Alinity i 25-OH Vitamin D Reagent Kits due to a manufacturing issue that may damage bottle necks and cause instrument failure.

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 describes a mechanical defect causing instrument failure rather than a direct health hazard or reported injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.

Plain-English summary

Abbott Ireland Diagnostics Division is recalling 760 units of the Alinity i 25-OH Vitamin D Reagent Kit, List Number 08P4532. The recall affects specific lots distributed to facilities in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Oklahoma, and Virginia.

The recall is due to a manufacturing issue that can result in damage to the bottle neck of some reagent cartridges. If a bottle neck is damaged, it may cause a failure during the reagent loading process on the Alinity i instrument.

Facilities that have received these products should stop using the affected lots and contact Abbott for further instructions.
