  • Causa
    Biomérieux brasil sa communicated the decision of biomérieux brasil s / a to collect the lots 50608 (validity: august 10, 2006) through the national agency of sanitary surveillance (anvisa), through its utvig, and 50609 (validity: august 10, 2006) of the product slidex rota-kit 2. these batches have been shown to have, over time, a gradual loss of sensitivity of the latex r1 reagent, causing low agglutination of the r3 positive control, leading to possibility of false-positive results. this result does not cause an adverse event in the patient, however it does not allow the correct identification of the gastrointestinal agent and may lead to abusive prescription of antibiotics not indicated for the treatment of gastroenteritis of viral etiology. the company received a complaint from brazil, in addition to 13 other countries.
  • Acción
    The Company Biomérieux Brasil SA informed its clients and started the voluntary withdrawal of the market of the unused lots involved in the problem and blocked the commercialization of these lots that are still in stock.
