LumiQuick H. Pylori Antibody Test Card Recalled for Regulatory Non-Compliance

LumiQuick Diagnostics Inc. is recalling H. Pylori Antibody Test Cards because they were shipped to locations without required FDA regulatory clearances.

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 no illnesses or injuries were reported and the hazard is regulatory (lack of clearance) rather than a direct physical defect causing harm, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.

Plain-English summary

LumiQuick Diagnostics Inc. is recalling H. Pylori Antibody Test Cards (Whole Blood), catalog number 71024, all lots. The recall is due to the products being shipped to US locations that do not have approved applications for PMA, IDE, or 510(k) clearance.

The affected products were distributed in the states of California, Florida, New Jersey, Texas, and New York. The source text does not specify the number of units recalled or report any illnesses or injuries associated with the use of these test cards.

Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the recalled test cards and contact the manufacturer for further instructions or a refund.
