Class II — the FDA judged the product may cause temporary or medically reversible harm, with a remote chance of serious 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.
Randox Liquid Protein Calibrators-SP CAL-(LIQ)-In vitro diagnostic product used for the calibration of ASO, Complement C3, Complement C4, CRP, Ferritin, Haptoglobin, IgM, Prealbumin, RF and Transferrin assays Catalogue Number: IT2691
Why it was recalled
As part of the firm's ongoing quality monitoring (see internal complaint # OCC72574), Randox Laboratories have restandardized Ferritin in Liquid Protein Calibrators, IT2691, to reference material NISBC 19/118. The calibrators lots 2112IT-2116IT, packed into batches 627222, 627224, 634886 and 634887 have been reassigned as part of the restandardization. Following this restandardization, Ferritin results for Quality Control material and patient samples recovered erroneously higher than the targeted calibrator values by approximately +10% across the assay range following.
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.
