Hyphen BioMed Recalls ZYMUTEST HIA MonoStria Assay Due to Labeling Error

Hyphen BioMed is recalling ZYMUTEST HIA MonoStria kits because the package insert incorrectly lists serum and other fluids as valid sample types.

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 an incorrect package insert (labeling error) without reporting any injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling error.

Plain-English summary

Hyphen BioMed is recalling 60 units of the ZYMUTEST HIA MonoStria qualitative screening assay. The product is intended for the detection of heparin-dependent antibodies in human plasma by clinical laboratories.

The recall was initiated because the package insert incorrectly indicates that the kits can be used with plasma, serum, and other biological fluids. The kits are only intended to be used with plasma. This labeling error could lead to improper use of the diagnostic device.

The affected lots are F1600568P1, F1701370P1, and F1701370P2. The products were distributed to clinical laboratories in Ohio, Maryland, North Carolina, New York, New Hampshire, Canada, and Sweden. Clinical laboratories should stop using the affected kits and contact Hyphen BioMed for instructions on return or disposal.
