Reason for recall

Due to unacceptable precision performance exhibited in certain lots of the Emit 2000 Quinidine Assay, which may lead to erroneously elevated quinidine measurements, creating risk of sub-optimal patient treatment, including potential life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias or inadequate antimalarial therapy.

Potency and specification recalls happen when a batch tests outside its approved limits for strength, purity or dissolution, which can mean the dose delivered is higher or lower than labelled.
