NeuMoDx Diagnostic Cartridges Recalled for Label Misplacement Risk
NeuMoDx Molecular Inc is recalling 20,016 cartridges from three lots due to incorrect label placement during manufacturing. Misplaced labels may interfere with optical performance, increasing risk for false positive 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: FDA Class II recall presenting risk-of-harm through potential false positive test results due to optical interference. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, meeting the rubric criterion for High severity: risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
NeuMoDx Molecular Inc is recalling 20,016 NeuMoDx Cartridges (Ref: 100100) used with the NeuMoDx 288 and NeuMoDx 96 Molecular Systems. The cartridges are used for extraction, purification, amplification, and detection of nucleic acids. The recall involves cartridges from lots 117514, 117524, and 117528 (GTIN: 10814278020274).
The recall was initiated because the top label on cartridges in these lots may have been incorrectly applied during manufacturing, resulting in encroachment into the PCR region. This misplacement may interfere with the module's optical performance, thereby increasing the risk for false positive test results.
The affected cartridges have been distributed nationwide in Kansas, Florida, Texas, Ohio, New York, Michigan, and Pennsylvania in the United States, and internationally to Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Finland, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Romania, and Sweden.
