Macherey Nagel recalls specific urine test strips due to potential false negative results for leukocytes, which could miss urinary tract infections. Affected lot 65402.
The reason for the recall is one of the test pads, for the parameter leukocytes, was missing on some of the test strips. The issue was identified by a consumer by way of a Henry Schein Inc. (HSI) customer complaint. This problem can potentially result in the possibility that the parameter leucocytes (a non-specific marker for urinary track infections and an indicator for inflammatory renal processes) is interpreted instrumentally as a false negative . The following HSI item number and lot number were affected: Urispec¿ 11-Way, #102-2285, LOT 65402.
