MedWatch - The FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program
The FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health posted a Class I recall notice for the ProbeTec ET Instrument, an in-vitro diagnostic medical device used for the detection of Chlamydia and gonorrhea in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. The recalling firm is Becton Dickinson of Sparks, Maryland. A component of the in-vitro diagnostic device was incorrectly installed causing false positive and false negative results. Continued use of the defective instrument could result in a moderate to high risk of serious adverse health consequences, including death.
