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.
HealthyWiser UriTest" 10 Parameter Reagent Test Strips for Urinalysis REF 900-10
Why it was recalled
Universal Meditech Inc. was violatively distributing PrestiBio" Breastmilk Alcohol Test Strip, DiagnosUS¿ SARS-CoV-2 Antibody (IgG/IgM) Test, HealthyWiser KetoFast" Ketone Test Strips and PrestiBio" Ketone Test Strips without marketing authorization. UMI is also recall their tests because they are going out of business and would not be able to continue fulfilling any post-market responsibilities of these distributed products. UMI claims to hold 510(k)s for the other devices, purchased the intellectual property in 2015 from the previous 510(k) holder, but FDA has been unable to verify this information. The devices may have unknown performance characteristics because the firm is unable to provide any documentation that the devices were manufactured in conformance with the Quality System regulation, including documentation (e.g., DHF) that the distributed devices had not been modified since original clearance in a way that could impact their safety and effectiveness, documentation of controlled storage temperature/humidity, and post-market surveillance documentation, such as complaints and adverse events.
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.
