Plain-English summary

Stanbio Laboratory, LP is recalling the Separation Technology Creamatocrit Plus (Catalog Number: 100-146), a breast milk analyzer distributed nationwide between 2019 and 2021.

The device was marketed as an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) without FDA 510(k) clearance, which is required before diagnostic devices can legally be marketed in the United States. Because this clearance was not obtained, the device's performance characteristics have not been adequately validated.

Erroneous results from this analyzer could lead to sub-optimal nutrition supplementation for infants.
