Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. has recalled 35 Platelia Toxo IgM assay kits (Catalog Number 26211) due to a defect that can cause false positive test results. These kits are used in laboratories to detect antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in human blood specimens. A false positive result could lead to patients receiving medical treatment that they do not actually require. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.
The assay may incorrectly indicate the presence of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies when they are not actually present. This false positive result could lead to unnecessary or incorrect medical interventions and treatments for the patient.
The kit is a semi-quantitative immunocapture enzyme immunoassay.
