Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 In vitro diagnostic reagent to aid in the diagnosis of Salmonellosis may exhibit decreased or no reactivity. If proper controls are run with the lot in question, it would become apparent that the antigen is non reactive and patient specimen results should not be reported. If control testing is not performed a salmonella-infected patient could go undiagnosed, with possible adverse effects.
FDA Determined
Cause 2		 Nonconforming Material/Component
Action The recalling firm notified customers by fax and e-mail on 05/19/10. The notification advised that the referenced lot number of Salmonella 0 Group A Antigen may exhibit decreased or no reactivity when testing the patient's serum directly for homologous antibodies by either a slide or tube agglutination test to aid in the diagnosis of Salmonellosis.
