Tosoh ST-AIA PACK IGE II Recalled Due to Strensiq Interference

Tosoh Bioscience is recalling ST-AIA PACK IGE II allergy assays because Asfotase Alfa (Strensiq) 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 involves a medical device where the hazard is inaccurate test results (falsely increased or decreased) which could lead to incorrect medical decisions. This fits the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported, as the source does not mention any reported illnesses or injuries.
