VITROS Anti-HBs Immunodiagnostic Products Recalled for Calibration Failures
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products used to test for Hepatitis B antibodies due to potential calibration failures and falsely elevated test results affecting specific lot numbers.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall for in-vitro diagnostic products with potential for inaccurate test results and calibration failures. While no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source, the defect creates risk of incorrect Hepatitis B antibody measurement, meeting the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
