Remel recalls 20-packs of Thio Med w/Dex, Hem, Vit K (7ml) due to shortened expiration dates from 7 months to 56 days after manufacturing, risking failed performance testing.
Potential for products to fail performance testing per the Instructions for Use (IFU) starting at 57 days after date of manufacturing. Expiration date is shortened from 7 months to 56 days.
Remel is recalling 20-packs of Thio Med w/Dex, Hem, Vit K (7ml) because the expiration date is shortened to 56 days after manufacturing instead of 7 months. This could cause the products to fail performance testing during use in lab procedures.
The products may fail performance testing after 57 days of manufacturing, which shortens the expiration date from 7 months to 56 days. This could lead to inaccurate results in lab procedures but does not pose a direct safety risk.
Users of this lab culture medium are affected, particularly those conducting qualitative procedures requiring precise testing timelines. The risk is low as the issue relates to expiration dates rather than immediate safety hazards.
