Ortho Clinical Diagnostics Vitros Calcium Reagent Recalled Due to Storage Conditions
Ortho Clinical Diagnostics Vitros Calcium (L-Sequester) reagent is being recalled because transit delays caused by severe thunderstorms may have stored products outside recommended cold chain conditions, potentially leading to incorrect or delayed test 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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a diagnostic reagent with potential for incorrect or delayed test results due to storage condition failure. No illnesses or injuries are reported, and the hazard is a reduction in test reliability rather than direct patient harm. Class II recalls without reported adverse events typically score 2 under the rubric.
