Plain-English summary
Ameditech Inc is recalling 537,120 units of First Check 4 Panel Drug Cups (COC/MET1000/OPI2000/THC), AMT Item Number 990100B. The recall covers all lots within expiry and includes products distributed nationwide in the United States as well as in Australia, France, Germany, New Zealand, Singapore, and Spain.
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 defect may lead to inaccurate drug screening results.
Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected drug cups and contact Ameditech Inc for further instructions or a replacement.
