Trinity Biotech Captia VZV IgG Kits Recalled for Positive Control Issues

Clark Laboratories is recalling 810 Captia VZV IgG kits because the positive control ran high out of its assigned range.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which by definition is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The issue is a technical deviation in the positive control range rather than a direct physical hazard.
