Siemens ADVIA Centaur Progesterone Test Recalled for DHEA-S Interference

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is recalling ADVIA Centaur Progesterone tests because DHEA-S causes falsely elevated results.

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, and the hazard involves inaccurate diagnostic results (falsely elevated) rather than direct physical injury or a high-risk pathogen, fitting the Moderate criteria for low-risk contamination or labeling/accuracy errors.
