Euro Diagnostica Anti-Cardiolipin ELISA Kits Recalled for Labeling Error

Euro Diagnostica AB is recalling Anti-Cardiolipin ELISA kits due to incorrect labeling. The kits were incorrectly labeled as 'Manufactured by DiaSorin' instead of 'Distributed by DiaSorin.'

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 and involves a minor labeling error regarding the distributor's role, which is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences.

Plain-English summary

Euro Diagnostica AB is recalling six units of the Anti-Cardiolipin ELISA kit. This product is a quantitative and qualitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) used to detect IgG and IgM autoantibodies specific for the phospholipid cardiolipin in human serum and plasma. The recall is limited to specific lots: TS 2783 (kit) and TS 2787 (PC).

The recall was initiated because the product was incorrectly labeled. The label stated 'Manufactured by DiaSorin,' but the correct term should be 'Distributed by DiaSorin.' This is a documentation and labeling issue rather than a defect in the test's performance or safety.

The affected units were distributed in Minnesota. Healthcare facilities and laboratories that possess these specific lots should stop using the kits and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal. No illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with this labeling error.
