Since the initial medical device report submission, qiagen has tested over 900 test strips from the complainant's kit lot, 557016546.To date, no invalid results have been observed on retained test strips, and 69 invalid results have been observed on test strips returned from customers and qiagen's third party logistics (3pl) location.This lot exhibits a higher than expected rate of invalid results.Qiagen has initiated a voluntary product recall of kit lots containing the same test strip lot (fmrt-1-25-us kit lots 55701646, 557016547, 5600115 and fmrt-1-25-ca kit lot 557016409).We are instructing customers to discontinue use of these lots and to return any unused inventory to qiagen.This field action was reported to ora as qiagen recall #1122376-05/18/2018-001r.Further updates will be provided to ora.The root cause for the invalid tests is still under investigation.
