VITROS Chemistry Products CRP Slides Incorrectly Labeled Coating Generation

Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling VITROS Chemistry Products CRP Slides because the product carton, foil wrapper, and cartridge label were incorrectly marked with "GEN 88" instead of the correct "GEN 83" designation.

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 labeling error on a medical device. The source text indicates only a generation designation mislabel with no reported patient harm or safety impact described, making it a moderate-severity labeling discrepancy rather than a higher-tier safety hazard.
