Illumina MiSeqDx Universal Kit 1.0 Recalled for Software Limitation
Illumina Inc is recalling 13 units of the MiSeqDx Universal Kit 1.0 because a software limitation prevents the reporting of specific genomic insertions and deletions.
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, which typically corresponds to a moderate severity score when no hospitalizations or serious injuries are reported. The hazard is a software limitation affecting data reporting rather than a direct physical safety risk.
Plain-English summary
Illumina Inc is recalling 13 units of the Illumina MiSeqDx Universal Kit 1.0, Part Number 15039608. This product is a set of reagents and consumables used to process human genomic DNA samples from peripheral whole blood for targeted sequencing on the MiSeqDx instrument.
The recall was initiated due to a discovered software limitation in the MiSeq Reporter software (version 2.2.31). When using the MiSeqDx Universal Kit 1.0 on the MiSeqDx instrument, the software is unable to report insertions or deletions at specific genomic locations with respect to the primer.
The affected units were distributed in the United States to the states of Arizona, Georgia, California, Ohio, and Virginia, as well as internationally to France. The specific serial numbers for the recalled units are M70130, M70189, M70108, M70165, M70166, M70175, M70172, and M70103. Users should contact Illumina Inc for further instructions on how to proceed.
