Plain-English summary
Abbott Rapid Dx N America LLC Reproductive Endocrinology Control Sets distributed by McKesson Medical-Surgical Inc. are being recalled. On January 8, 2024, a mechanical failure in a walk-in refrigerator caused facility temperatures to fall below the validated storage range of 35.6-46.4°F (2-8°C) for up to 60 minutes.
This temperature excursion could increase the probability that affected control sets will produce incorrect or delayed test results when used to validate pregnancy (hCG) tests in healthcare settings and laboratories.
Lot KN00589 was distributed nationwide in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Texas. The recalled product is the Abbott Rapid Dx Reproductive Endocrinology Control Set with positive and negative level controls.
