LeadCare II Blood Lead Test Kit-For in vitro diagnostic recall

LeadCare II Blood Lead Test Kit-For in vitro diagnostic use only. The test kit is for the quantitative measurement of lead in capillary whole blood.

Why was LeadCare II Blood Lead Test Kit-For in vitro diagnostic recalled?

During an internal audit a small percentage (<10%) of plastic caps used to close the treatment reagent tubes were found to not meet the minimum dimensional lip requirement and may have inadequate cap-to-tube seals. Manufacturing with these caps may result in cap-to-tube seals that allow leaking of HCl or may result in cap-to-tube seals that allow evaporation of treatment reagent. The consequence of this would be a change in the volume of treatment reagent and a change in the ratios of either added patient sample or control material to treatment reagent. The result of this might be a falsely elevated result (e.g., a patient false positive [PATFP] result or a Controls Out of Range-High [COOR-Hi] result).
