Ortho Clinical Diagnostics Total Bili-Alkp XT Reagent Recall

Mckesson Medical-Surgical is recalling Ortho Clinical Diagnostics Total Bili-Alkp XT (L-Sequester) reagent due to cold chain storage failures during transit caused by severe thunderstorms, which may result in 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 for a medical device with a storage/handling failure. No illnesses or injuries have been reported; the hazard is potential test inaccuracy. The source text does not describe reported harm, making this a precautionary recall that fits the Moderate category.
