LumiQuick Rickettsia Test Cards Recalled for Unauthorized Distribution

LumiQuick Diagnostics is recalling Rickettsia IgG/IgM Test Cards because they were shipped to locations without required FDA clearance.

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 does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is primarily regulatory (unauthorized distribution) rather than a direct physical defect causing harm.

Plain-English summary

LumiQuick Diagnostics Inc. is recalling Rickettsia IgG/IgM Test Cards (Catalog number 71017, all lots) because the products were shipped to US locations that do not have approved applications for PMA, IDE, or 510(k) clearance. The recall covers all units distributed in California, Florida, New Jersey, Texas, and New York.

The recall is due to regulatory non-compliance regarding the distribution of medical devices to facilities lacking the necessary FDA authorizations. No specific illnesses, injuries, or adverse health consequences are reported in the source text.

Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using the affected test cards and contact LumiQuick Diagnostics Inc. for further instructions on return or disposal.
