Product

VIDAS TOXO IgG Avidity is an automated qualitative test for use on the VIDAS family instruments, for the determination of anti-toxoplasma IgG avidity in human serum or plasma (lithium heparin, sodium citrate, EDTA) using the ELFA technique (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay). Toxoplasma gondii serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identify Toxoplasma gondii from clinical specimens.

Reason for recall

After detection of the issue, Global Supply Chain QA asked the bioM¿rieux distributor in Guadeloupe to put products in quarantine in July 2017; After several reminders, the distributor informed in November 2017 that products were delivered to customers.
