Plain-English summary
Medtest Holdings, Inc. is recalling Pointe Scientific CRP(HS) Wide Range Control Sets and Standard Sets. The recall involves 323 vials of ready-to-use calibrators and standards intended for the calibration of the manufacturer's CRP (High Sensitivity) Wide Range immunoturbidimetric assay. The products are for in vitro diagnostic use only.
The recall was initiated because individual vials were mislabeled. Specifically, the units on the vial labels are incorrectly listed as mg/dl, whereas the correct unit is mg/L. This labeling error could lead to incorrect calibration of the diagnostic assay.
