Ameditech recalls MicroTox test kits that may not consistently detect all contaminants due to enzyme failures. Affected kits include specific model numbers with chromium, nickel, pH, and other components.
Various immunoassay enzymes failed product performance, thereby the products do not consistently detect all calibrator and secondary compounds at the levels stated in the labeling.
Ameditech is recalling MicroTox lab test kits because their enzymes may fail to consistently detect contaminants. This means the kits could give inaccurate results for certain chemicals, which is risky for testing environmental or water samples.
The test kits contain enzymes that may not work properly, causing inconsistent detection of calibrators and other compounds. This leads to unreliable results for chemicals like chromium, nickel, and pH levels, which could affect testing accuracy.
Lab users and environmental testers who rely on MicroTox kits for detecting contaminants like chromium, nickel, or pH levels. Those using the kits for routine testing are most at risk of inaccurate results.
Check for the model number MTPA-6MBAU on the kit label. The kits include specific components like chromium, nickel, pH, and other indicators. All lots within the expiry date are affected.
Look for the model number MTPA-6MBAU on the kit label to confirm if it's affected.
The enzymes in the test kits may fail to consistently detect all contaminants, leading to inaccurate results for chemicals like chromium, nickel, and pH levels.
Check the kit label for the model number MTPA-6MBAU. If it matches, the kit is affected and should be used with caution.
