LumiQuick Syphilis Test Cards Recalled for Unapproved Distribution

LumiQuick Diagnostics is recalling Syphilis Test Cards (Serum) 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, but the source text identifies the issue as a regulatory distribution violation (shipping to unapproved locations) rather than a direct physical defect or reported injury. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving compliance or labeling issues without reported harm.
