Reason for recall

Limits of Detection (LoD) for protein, nitrite, leukocytes, and erythrocytes on the Urisys 1100 urine analyzer with Chemstrip 5 OB, Chemstrip 7, Chemstrip 10 MD, and Chemstrip 10 UA test strips were higher than what is listed in the test strip method sheets may lead to false negative results for the affected parameters

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