Due to a component in kit being labeled with the incorrect Expiration Date
Fujifilm Irvine Scientific recalls Vit Kit-Freeze, a cryopreservation kit for human oocytes and embryos, because one component has an incorrect expiration date label. This could lead to improper use of the kit if the expiration date is misread, though the risk is low since the kit is for medical procedures.
The kit contains a component labeled with the wrong expiration date. If the expiration date is misread, it could lead to using the kit after it has expired, potentially causing improper freezing or thawing of embryos or oocytes. However, the risk is low because the kit is used in medical procedures with specific protocols.
People using Vit Kit-Freeze for assisted reproductive procedures, such as fertility treatments, are most at risk if they rely on the incorrect expiration date label. This affects medical professionals and clinics handling the kit.
Check for the product name 'Vit Kit-Freeze' with catalog number 90133-SO. The kit includes 9x1 mL of Vitrification Solution and Equilibration Solution. Look for lot numbers starting with 90132210403 or UDI # 00893727002811.
Verify the expiration date on the kit's component label to ensure it matches the correct date.
The kit is safe to use if the expiration date is correctly labeled. However, the recall is due to an incorrect expiration date label, so you should check the label before use.
The official recall notice does not specify a remedy or contact information for this issue.
Vit Kit-Freeze is used in assisted reproductive procedures for freezing and storing human oocytes, pronuclear zygotes, and embryos.
