Macherey Nagel Gmbh & Co. Kg is recalling 5,200 packages of Urispec 11-Way Reagent Test Strips because one of the test pads used to detect leukocytes (white blood cells) was missing from some strips. This defect was discovered after a customer complaint through Henry Schein Inc. Without the leukocyte pad, the test may provide a false negative result even if white blood cells are present in the urine. Consumers who have the affected lot should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer for further instructions.
A missing leukocyte test pad can cause a false negative result, which may lead to a delay in diagnosing urinary tract infections or inflammatory kidney conditions. This delay could result in more serious health complications if an underlying infection or renal issue goes untreated.
