Phadia Recalls EliA dsDNA Well Kits Due to Potential False Positive Results

Phadia US Inc is recalling EliA dsDNA Well kits because decreased positive control values may cause false positive test results for systemic lupus erythematosus.

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, but the source text explicitly states that no illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is a potential diagnostic error (false positives) rather than a direct physical injury or high-risk pathogen, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

Plain-English summary

Phadia US Inc is voluntarily recalling 365 kits of the EliA dsDNA Well, Material Number 14-5500-01. The product is intended for the in-vitro quantitative measurement of IgG antibodies directed to dsDNA in human serum and plasma as an aid in the clinical diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
