Randox Liquid Urine Control Level 3 Recalled for Labeling Error

Randox Laboratories is recalling 198 kits of Liquid Urine Control Level 3 due to a labeling error affecting Total Protein values.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which by definition is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The issue is a minor labeling error that does not affect product performance or stability.

Plain-English summary

Randox Laboratories is recalling 198 kits of Liquid Urine Control Level 3, a product used for quality control monitoring of in-vitro diagnostic urinary clinical assays. The recall is due to a labeling error identified during an investigation.

The error affects the mean values for two test methods used to quantify Total Protein (urine), which are incorrect by a factor of 10. Instrument-specific values remain correct, and the error does not affect the performance or stability claims of the product. This discrepancy may cause control results to fall outside the quoted range, potentially leading to a delay in reporting sample test results, though this is unlikely as correct instrument-specific means are included in the value sheet.

The product was distributed worldwide, including to Puerto Rico and various countries such as Canada, Kuwait, Chile, Poland, China, Romania, France, Saudi Arabia, Guatemala, Slovenia, Iran, UAE, India, UK, Italy, Uruguay, and Iraq. Customers have been referred to their Medical Director for further advice.
