China NMPA Product Recall - Disposable virus sampling tubes

Shandong Tianai Medical Device Co., Ltd. has initiated a voluntary Class II recall for its disposable virus sampling tubes, registered under No.: Lu He Xie Bei 20200057. Reported on June 8, 2022, this action addresses significant quality concerns regarding the product's integrity. Specifically, the caps of these sampling tubes are prone to cracking easily after tightening, and the top portion of the cap can be pushed out. These defects pose a risk to sample integrity and could potentially compromise diagnostic accuracy and patient safety. The recall falls under the regulatory oversight of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and was reported via the Shandong Provincial Drug Administration Website. A Class II recall signifies that the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or that the likelihood of serious adverse health consequences is remote. Shandong Tianai Medical Device Co., Ltd. is required to provide comprehensive details on all affected product types and batch numbers through an official "Medical Device Recall Event Report Form," ensuring all necessary information is disseminated to mitigate risks associated with the faulty devices.
