LeadCare II Blood Lead Test Kit-For in vitro diagnostic use only. The test kit is for the quantitative measurement of lead in capillary whole blood.

Reason for Recall

During an internal audit a small percentage (<10%) of plastic caps used to close the treatment reagent tubes were found to not meet the minimum dimensional lip requirement and may have inadequate cap-to-tube seals. Manufacturing with these caps may result in cap-to-tube seals that allow leaking of HCl or may result in cap-to-tube seals that allow evaporation of treatment reagent. The consequence of this would be a change in the volume of treatment reagent and a change in the ratios of either added patient sample or control material to treatment reagent. The result of this might be a falsely elevated result (e.g., a patient false positive [PATFP] result or a Controls Out of Range-High [COOR-Hi] result).

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer immediately. Check whether your specific model number and lot number are included in the recall scope. For external devices, stop using the affected product and arrange a replacement. For implanted devices, do not panic — removal is typically not required unless the risk assessment clearly indicates it. Your physician will guide you based on your individual clinical situation and the FDA's recommended actions. Report any adverse effects you may have experienced to FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Class I recalls indicate a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death from the defect. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where serious consequences are remote. Class III recalls cover products not likely to cause any adverse health consequences, typically involving technical regulatory violations. The classification guides urgency — Class I recalls require immediate action, while Class III may simply involve returning a product or acknowledging a labeling change. Always read the specific recall notice for recommended patient actions.

Report problems with medical devices to the FDA through MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at FDA.gov/safety/medwatch. Healthcare facilities are required by law to report device-related serious injuries and deaths. Patients and consumers can also report voluntarily. Include the device name, manufacturer, model number, and a description of the problem and any patient outcome. Reports from patients and clinicians help the FDA identify emerging safety signals and may trigger investigations that lead to recalls of dangerous devices.

What Should You Do?

Stop using this device if you are affected by this recall. Contact your healthcare provider and the manufacturer immediately for guidance. Report adverse events to FDA MedWatch.
