Ameditech Drug Screening Components Recalled for Performance Failures

Ameditech Inc is recalling specific drug screening components because they failed to consistently detect compounds at labeled levels.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves performance failures leading to inconsistent detection, which is a moderate risk without reported injuries or deaths.

Plain-English summary

Ameditech Inc is recalling specific drug screening components, including uncut sheets and cups, due to performance failures. The affected products include various part numbers and lot numbers, such as 100163, 100195, and 160130, among others. The recall covers 3,600 units distributed nationwide in the US and in Australia, France, Germany, New Zealand, Singapore, and Spain.

The recall was initiated because various immunoassay enzymes in these products failed to meet performance standards. Specifically, the products do not consistently detect all calibrator and secondary compounds at the levels stated in the labeling. This inconsistency may affect the accuracy of drug screening results.

Users of these products should stop using them and contact Ameditech Inc for further instructions. The recall includes all lots within their expiry dates.
