VIDAS HCG 60 Clinical Test Kits Recalled for Exceeded Storage Conditions

Biomerieux Inc is recalling VIDAS HCG 60 test kits because storage conditions were exceeded, which cannot guarantee product performance. No illnesses or injuries have been reported.

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: This is a Class II FDA medical device recall initiated due to exceeded storage conditions that prevent the manufacturer from guaranteeing product performance. With no reported illnesses or injuries and the hazard being precautionary in nature, this meets the criteria for a voluntary precautionary recall.

Biomerieux Inc is recalling VIDAS CLINICAL VIDAS HCG 60 TESTS (Catalog 30405-01, Batch 1009527770) distributed nationwide in the United States. The recall was initiated because storage temperature and time parameters were exceeded.
