Recommended Action

Per FDA guidance

An Urgent Medical Device Recall Letter was sent to customers via either U.S. postal service or email beginning on 9-4-2019. The letter informs customers that studies indicate that cross-reactivity testing may not meet the claims indicated in the Opiate 300 ng (OP) and Opiate 2000 ng (OP2) Instructions For Use (IFU). This letter included the Instructions for Use (IFU) claims versus study results for each product. Customers were informed of which compounds (at specific concentrations or ranges) may result in false positive or false negative test results. The letter indicated that Laboratories should be aware of these findings but that retrospective review of results is not required. Customers were informed that resolution of this issue was handled by revising the Opiate 300 ng (OP) Reagent IFU and the Opiate 2000 ng (OP2) Reagent IFU to update the Cross Reactivity sections. Customers were also requested to provide a copy of the letter to any other laboratory to which they may have forwarded affected product. Customers were requested to acknowledge receipt of the recall notification letter by responding to Beckman Coulter within 10 days either electronically, if the letter was received via email, or manually by completing and return the enclosed Response Form.
