ActionMagellan issued a Safety Notification letter from May 23-25, 2017 . The firm states following the FDA Safety Notice, published May 17, 2017, this notification is to advise your facility regarding a change to existing LeadCare product usage and labeling. Prior instructions for use included capillary and venous blood samples. However, because the LeadCare Testing Systems may underestimate blood lead levels and give inaccurate results when processing venous blood samples, the FDA recommends discontinuing the use of venous blood samples with any LeadCare Blood Lead Testing System (LeadCare, LeadCare II, LeadCare Ultra, LeadCare Plus). Capillary samples may still be used on all LeadCare prducts listed above. Users requested to complete/sign Fax Form Record to verify that you have read and understood the Safety Communication to Customers on page 1.
