Plain-English summary

Ameditech Inc is recalling MicroTox immunoassay enzymes, specifically item MTPA-6MBAU. The affected products are described as MicroTox (AMP300/BZO200)+(COC300/THC50)+ (MET300/MOR300) With Cr, Ni, pH, Bl, S.G. The recall covers 12, 100 units distributed nationwide in the US and in Australia, France, Germany, New Zealand, Singapore, and Spain. All lots within expiry are affected.

The recall was initiated because various immunoassay enzymes failed product performance tests. As a result, the products do not consistently detect all calibrator and secondary compounds at the levels stated in the labeling. This performance failure may lead to inaccurate test results.

Users of these products should stop using them and contact Ameditech Inc for further instructions. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.
