Tosoh ST-AIA C-Peptide II Assay Recalled Due to Drug Interference

Tosoh Bioscience is recalling ST-AIA PACK C-Peptide II assays because the drug Asfotase Alfa can cause inaccurate test results.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a risk of harm (inaccurate diagnostic results) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Tosoh Bioscience Inc is recalling 2,982 units of the ST-AIA PACK C-Peptide II assay (Part Number: 025283). The recall covers all lot codes and includes products distributed in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and several other countries in the Americas.

The recall was initiated because the drug Asfotase Alfa (Strensiq) interferes with certain Tosoh assays. This interference can potentially cause falsely increased or falsely decreased immunoassay test results, depending on the specific assay used.

Healthcare providers and laboratories should be aware that patients taking Asfotase Alfa may receive inaccurate C-Peptide test results when using this specific Tosoh assay. Users should consult with Tosoh Bioscience for guidance on alternative testing methods or handling of affected samples.
