NeuroLogica Corporation is recalling 4,940 units of the PT Electrolyte Test 3V, a veterinary diagnostic cartridge. Samsung, the manufacturer, found that a polymer used in the test's reagent was over-oxidized, causing the chemical stability of the sodium and chloride tests to fail. This defect causes the test to produce results that are on the lower end of the acceptable range, which could lead to incorrect medical assessments for animals. These cartridges were distributed nationwide in the United States between 2017 and 2018.
The oxidized reagent causes inaccurate measurement of sodium and chloride levels in animal blood samples. These stabilized lower-range readings may lead veterinarians to misdiagnose an animal's electrolyte balance, potentially resulting in inappropriate or harmful medical treatments.
