Covetrus North America is recalling 9 boxes of scil SOLO Phenobarbital Chemistry Test Kits (containing 6 tests each) used in veterinary settings to measure phenobarbital levels in animal serum or plasma. These kits were found to have stability issues that can produce falsely low test results, which may lead to incorrect medication adjustments for pets being treated for seizures. The affected kits were distributed in Arkansas, California, Louisiana, New York, and South Carolina. Veterinarians and clinics using these tests should contact the manufacturer immediately for further instructions.
The test kits may provide falsely low readings of phenobarbital levels in an animal's system. This inaccurate data could lead a veterinarian to incorrectly increase a pet's medication dosage, potentially resulting in phenobarbital toxicity or other serious health complications for the animal.
