Safety Report: Universal Meditech Inc. Test kits update- recalled due to Product Safety/Defect, USA

Recall notice

United States

On May 22, 2023, Universal Meditech Inc. initiated a nationwide recall of products it manufactured between March 2021 and November 2022. The recall is due to the reasons that: The company is going out of business, hence would not be able to continue fulfilling any post-market responsibilities of these distributed products. 4 of the products (PrestiBio Breastmilk Alcohol Test Strip, PrestiBio™ Ketone Test Strips, HealthyWiser KetoFast™ Ketone Test Strips and DiagnosUS® SARS-CoV-2 Antibody (IgG/IgM) Test) have been violatively distributed without appropriate premarket clearance or approval which potentially could result in inaccurate test results due to lack of performance evaluation by the FDA. These products have been distributed to distributors in California, New York, New Jersey, and Florida, and they may have been further sold to end consumers national-wide across the United States. To date, there has not been any reported injury due to the use of any of the products.

Recalled products were manufactured and distributed from March 2021 to November 2022. The following styles/models/UDI have been recalled:
