Randox Recalls Immunoassay Premium Controls Due to Stability Claim Failure

Randox Laboratories is recalling 117 kits of Immunoassay Premium Controls because the ACTH component does not meet the stated reconstituted stability claim in the product instructions for use.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this recall as Class III, which the rubric defines as typically scoring 1 or 2 because they are by definition unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. No injuries or illnesses were reported.

Plain-English summary

Randox Laboratories has initiated a recall of Immunoassay Premium Controls, available in 3x4x5mL and 12x5mL packages. The company is recalling 117 kits distributed nationwide across the United States. The affected products include specific catalog numbers and lots: IA2633 (Lots 398703, 402366), IA2638 (Lot 1666EC), IA2639 (Lots 1486EC, 1516EC, 1626EC), and IA2640 (Lots 1517EC, 1668EC).

The recall is necessary because the ACTH in these Immunoassay Premium and Premium Plus quality control products does not meet the quoted reconstituted stability claim found in the product's Instructions for Use (IFU). This means the product may not remain stable or accurate for the duration claimed by the manufacturer after reconstitution.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has classified this recall as Class III. The agency states that Class III recalls are typically unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. No illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.
