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: This is a Class II FDA medical device recall involving a storage failure that compromises product performance. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, a diagnostic reagent unable to guarantee performance represents a risk-of-harm scenario where test result accuracy could be affected, potentially impacting clinical decisions.
