  • Causa
    Through testing it was determined that this product may have an elevated incidence of false positive results. a false positive test result could lead to the administration of antibiotics that are unnecessary. this exposes the patient to potential side effects or allergic reactions. these are rarely serious and are usually resolved with discontinuation of the medication. as with all diagnostic tests all results must be interpreted together with other clinical information available to the physician. it is unnecessary to interrupt a course of antibiotics that have little to no negative side effects.

  • Comentario del fabricante
    “We are in constant communication with regulatory agencies and competent authorities worldwide which allows us to implement global recalls or in-country communication quickly and effectively,” Abbott, which now owns St. Jude Medical told ICIJ in a statement. In addition to sending global notices to physicians worldwide, we also make sure that product advisories are available online and classification of product recalls and product advisories are determined by global regulatory bodies which can impact the timing in any given country. MD companies follow varying regulations in different countries. In come countries software is not regulated so a recall in one country related to software would not be classified as a recall or field action in another. In addition, review cycles within the regulatory process can be different in each country which can impact communication and recall timing.
