Binding Site IgG4 Reagent Kits Recalled for Inaccurate Results
The Binding Site Group is recalling Human IgG4 Subclass Liquid Reagent Kits because they may yield falsely low results for samples with extremely high IgG4 levels.
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 the hazard involves diagnostic inaccuracy rather than direct physical injury or death.
Plain-English summary
The Binding Site Group, Ltd. is recalling Human IgG4 Subclass Liquid Reagent Kits (Product Code LK009.CB) for use on the Roche Cobas 6000 and Beckman Coulter AU series analyzers. The recall was initiated after customer complaints identified that the kits may produce spuriously low IgG4 results when analyzing samples containing extremely high levels of the antibody due to antigen excess.
The recall includes all lots of the product. The kits were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (Florida, Ohio, Tennessee, Minnesota, New York, Michigan, and California) and internationally to countries such as Canada, France, the UK, and Germany. These kits are intended for the quantitative measurement of human IgG subclasses 1, 2, 3, and 4 in serum for the diagnosis of abnormal protein metabolism and immune system deficiencies.
Healthcare facilities and laboratories should stop using the affected reagent kits and contact The Binding Site Group, Ltd. for instructions on returning the product or obtaining a replacement. The FDA has classified this recall as Class II, indicating that use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences.
