Randox Laboratories is recalling Immunoassay Premium Control Tri Level quality control kits due to out-of-range values that caused delays in test result reporting. The affected lot was distributed to five states and Puerto Rico.

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 III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is out-of-range quality control values that could affect diagnostic accuracy, but the impact is indirect and theoretical. Class III recalls with theoretical hazards are typically scored at Moderate level.

Plain-English summary

Randox Laboratories Ltd. is recalling Immunoassay Premium Control Tri Level quality control kits (Catalog Number IA2633, Lot 583135) distributed to California, Illinois, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Puerto Rico, with an expiration date of April 28, 2023.

The recall involves quality control materials used for adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) testing. The materials ran outside acceptable target values and ranges, causing delays in reporting test results. The out-of-range values required reassignment of calibration parameters on Roche Cobas e801 laboratory equipment.

Quality control materials are used to verify that diagnostic equipment is working correctly. When quality control values fall outside acceptable ranges, the reliability of patient test results may be affected.
