Tosoh AIA-PACK TSH 3rd Generation Assay Recalled Due to Interference
Tosoh Bioscience Inc is recalling AIA-PACK TSH 3rd Generation assays because Asfotase Alfa interferes with the tests, potentially causing inaccurate results.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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 involves a risk-of-harm product (medical device) where the hazard is inaccurate test results that could lead to incorrect medical decisions, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.
