Roche Diagnostics is recalling specific lots of the Elecsys Anti-CCP Immunoassay due to performance issues when used with plasma samples on certain analyzers.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text cites 'performance issues' without reporting any hospitalizations, injuries, or deaths, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
