Hazard

False Positive Results: Product labeling states cross contamination is not an issue for high viral load titer samples, but the firm has determined that a potential sample contamination may not be detected at these levels and could result in false positive results being reported.

What You Should Do

Remedy

Consignees were sent an Urgen Medical Device Correction letter dated 5/14/07 which instructs them to define and establish a lower detection limit, to use UNG to prevent carryover whenever possible, and to confirm low positive results through an independent experiment. A revised device correction letter dated 6/15/07 was subsequently sent to each consignee updating the reason for recall and associated risks.
