TECHNO-PATH recalls Multichem ID-B (SR103B) serum for possible false negative HIV/Hepatitis tests. Affected units may cause inaccurate lab results for HIV and hepatitis tests.
Potential of negative recovery of the HBsAg analyte across two (2) lots of Multichem ID-B Positive Control when tested on the Alinity i platform.
TECHNO-PATH is recalling Multichem ID-B (model SR103B) serum because it may give false negative results for HIV and hepatitis tests when used with certain lab equipment. This could lead to incorrect lab results and potentially missed diagnoses.
The serum may not detect the HBsAg analyte properly when tested on the Alinity i platform, leading to false negative results. This means the lab might miss infections that should be detected, potentially causing incorrect diagnoses.
Laboratory users who test samples with the Alinity i platform using Multichem ID-B (SR103B) may be affected. Those using the serum for HIV and hepatitis testing are most at risk of inaccurate results.
Check for model number SR103B on the serum label. Look for lot number SB161024P and expiration date 31-10-2026. The product is sold for lab use in HIV and hepatitis testing.
Verify the model number (SR103B), lot number (SB161024P), and expiration date (31-10-2026) on the serum label.
The serum may give false negative results for HIV and hepatitis tests when used with the Alinity i platform, leading to inaccurate lab results.
Check the product details to see if you have the affected model and lot number. If you do, contact TECHNO-PATH for guidance.
This is a lab testing issue, not a direct safety hazard. The risk is of inaccurate test results, not physical injury.
