LumiQuick Malaria Pan Antigen Test Recalled for Regulatory Violations

LumiQuick Diagnostics Inc. is recalling Malaria pan Antigen Tests because they were shipped to US locations without approved PMA, IDE, or 510(k) 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, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The specific hazard is a regulatory violation regarding clearance, rather than a direct physical defect causing injury.
