VIDAS Quality Control Product Recalled for Storage Condition Deviation

Biomerieux Inc is recalling VIDAS CLINICAL QCV-QUALITY CONTROL VIDAS 60T nationwide due to storage temperature and time deviations that prevent performance guarantee. Batch 1009351560 is affected.

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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is theoretical—loss of performance guarantee due to storage condition deviation—rather than direct patient harm. This is consistent with a precautionary recall.
