Product Detail

Product Description Code Info Classification Reason for Recall Product Quantity Recall Number
Alere Triage TOX Drug Screen 9 Panel, P/N: 94402. The Alere Triage TOX Drug Screen is a fluorescence immunoassay intended to be used with the Alere Triage Meters for the qualitative determination of the presence of drug and/or the major metabolites above the threshold concentrations of up to 10 distinct drug classes, including assays for acetaminophen/paracetamol, amphetamines, methamphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, opiates, phencyclidine, THC and tricyclic antidepressants in urine. The acetaminophen/paracetamol assay will yield positive results when acetaminophen/paracetamol is ingested at or above therapeutic doses. Lot Codes: K51245RB, W51022RB, W51207RB Class II Alere San Diego is recalling Alere Triage TOX Drug Screen because there is a possibility that after installing the code chip provided with the affected lots: AMP, BAR, and PCP, the threshold ranges may not be consistently set correctly in all meters. 591 kits Z-2460-2012
