Plain-English summary
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc. is recalling the IMMULITE 2000 Progesterone test kits. The recall affects US models L2KPW2 and L2KPW6, as well as OUS models L2KPW2(D) and L2KPW6(D). The specific SMN numbers involved are 10901873, 10901874, 10381181, and 10381170. The recall covers 6,633 units, with an additional 4,753 units reported as of January 13, 2020. The affected kits are identified by US lot numbers 510 and above, and OUS lot numbers D510 and above.
The reason for the recall is a potential for low discordant progesterone results on a subset of patient samples. A falsely low progesterone result may lead to the consideration for additional progesterone supplementation. This is a Class II recall, indicating a situation where use of the product could, in some cases, cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
The product was distributed globally and nationwide in the US. Healthcare facilities and laboratories that use these specific test kits should stop using the affected lots and contact Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics for instructions on how to return or dispose of the product. Patients who have recently received progesterone test results using these kits should consult their healthcare provider if they have concerns about their results or treatment.
