Diagnostic Cartridge Assay May Fail to Detect Chlamydia Trachomatis Correctly
Binx Health is recalling a single lot of its CT/NG diagnostic cartridges distributed in Pennsylvania. The cartridges may not accurately detect Chlamydia trachomatis, potentially producing false negative or false positive results.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The diagnostic defect poses a risk of harm through false negative or false positive results in STI detection, but no actual harm has been reported, meeting the criterion for Score 3: risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
