Timeline

17 Oct 2023	Recall initiated by company
1 Dec 2023	Classified by FDA	+45 days
13 Dec 2023	Published in enforcement report	+12 days

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

Routine quality control testing of affected blood culture identification panel with affected control panel may need to be amended, due to control panel/instrument characteristic changes, that lead C. tropicalis to be amplified in some portion of test runs, but then it's reported as "Not Detected" because the assay amplicon Tm is outside the acceptable limit assigned for calling positive results.

Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
