Diagnostic Verification Product May Not Meet Shelf Life Stability Specifications

Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is recalling VITROS NT-proBNP II Range Verifiers Lot 0090 because the product may not meet shelf life stability specifications. Used for diagnostic system calibration verification.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries and no reported product failures. The hazard is theoretical—the product may not meet shelf life stability specifications. Per the rubric, FDA Class III recalls are typically scored 1 or 2; since there is a functional specification concern rather than just cosmetic or documentation issues, this warrants a Moderate rating.
