McKesson Medical-Surgical Inc. has recalled one box of its Quantimetrix Urine Chemistry Control Set Dipper Urinalysis Dipstick Testing Levels 1 & 2 (6 X 15 mL). The product was shipped without the necessary summer packaging required to maintain safe temperatures and may have been exposed to heat above 25°C (77°F). This exposure can degrade the product, potentially causing inaccurate test results or delays in a patient receiving their medical diagnosis. This specific unit was distributed in Washington, D.C.
Exposure to temperatures above 25°C can compromise the chemical integrity of the urinalysis control material. Using a degraded control could lead to incorrect laboratory readings, which may cause healthcare providers to delay or misinterpret patient urinalysis results.
