Class III — the FDA judged the product is unlikely to cause harm.
This is the FDA's risk judgment for this recall. It describes the potential of the product as a category — it does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone. Most recalls are Class II or III.
VITROS Chemistry Products Calibrator Kit 29- In-Vitor used to calibrate the VITROS 5,1 FS/4600 Chemistry Systems and the VITROS 5600/XT 7600 Integrated Systems for the quantitative measurement of total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) using VITROS Chemistry Products dTIBC Reagent Model/Catalog Number: 6802344
Why it was recalled
Kit assigned an extended expiration date of 24-Jul-2025 during release. The correct expiration date for Lot 2953 is 24-Jul-2024. If used past its true expiration and the customer does not have their Assay Data Disk (ADD) updated, the system will allow them to use the expired calibrator which may bias the results. However, at this time the calibrator is within its use date and will function appropriately.
Is your unit affected?
The recall covers only the specific lots or serial numbers the FDA listed. Enter the lot or serial number from your product's label and we'll check it against that list.
A match means your unit may be covered — stop and call your pharmacist before doing anything. No match suggests it isn't covered, but confirm anyway: code formats vary and lists can be incomplete. Your unit not being listed does not guarantee it is safe, and being listed does not mean you have been harmed.

What this is — and is not
A recall is a recorded FDA enforcement action — the FDA logged that a firm is removing or correcting a product. It does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone, and causation is not established by a recall. The class above is the FDA's risk judgment for the product category, not a finding about your unit. This page informs and compares; it is not medical advice and never tells you to start or stop a drug or device.
