Tosoh Thyroid Assay Recalled Due to Drug Interference

Tosoh Bioscience is recalling ST-AIA PACK TT3 thyroid assays because the drug Strensiq interferes with the test, potentially causing inaccurate 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 potential diagnostic errors (falsely increased or decreased results) which poses a risk of harm to patients, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Tosoh Bioscience Inc is recalling 10,424 units of the ST-AIA PACK TT3 (Part Number: 025282) thyroid assay. The recall covers all lot codes and includes products distributed in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and several other countries in the Americas.
