FDA Recall Notice

Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — official FDA notice for recall FDA-Z-2167-2017.

According to Randox Laboratories an investigation indicates a labelling error for 2 of the test methods listed for quantification of Total Protein (urine). The values for the mean of all instruments are incorrect by a factor of 10. Instrument specific values are correct. This does not affect the performance or stability claims of the product. As control results will be outside of the quoted range this may result in a delay in reporting the sample test results. However as the correct instrument specific means are also included in the value sheet this delay is unlikely. Customers have been referred to their Medical Director for further advice
