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: This recall involves bacterial contamination in a medical device without reported illnesses or injuries. Per the rubric, high-risk pathogens without reported illness constitute a score of 3. The contamination causes diagnostic inaccuracy, representing significant risk to patient care through unreliable test results.
Plain-English summary
One lot of the Sight OLO CBC Test Kit (Model TK1-10114) is being recalled due to bacterial contamination found in the test cartridges. The contamination causes the kit to report artificially elevated platelet counts with a bias of 7.5 k/ul, meaning results are higher than they should be. This performance falls outside the device's specified accuracy standards.
The affected lot was distributed worldwide across 7,450 total units. In the United States, 2,800 units were distributed to Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Wisconsin. An additional 4,650 units were distributed internationally to Canada, Israel, Slovenia, and Trinidad & Tobago.
Healthcare providers and facilities using this test kit lot should discontinue use immediately. Patients whose test results were based on this affected lot may need retesting with an unaffected kit to ensure accurate platelet counts. Contact SIGHT DIAGNOSTICS LTD for guidance on returning the affected test kits and obtaining replacements.
