Plain-English summary

DRG International is recalling Salivary Testosterone ELISA (Model SLV-3013), an in vitro diagnostic test for measuring free active testosterone in saliva samples. A total of 257 units have been distributed nationwide in California, Illinois, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Utah, and Virginia.

The recall is due to invalid quality controls. The Low Control value is out of range (too high), causing test runs to fail and invalidate results. This forces laboratories to repeat testing, which delays the reporting of results to patients. The affected lot numbers are 66K014 and 66K123.

Laboratories using affected kits should contact DRG International regarding further instructions and corrective actions.
