China NMPA Product Recall - 5'-Nucleotidase (5'-NT) Assay Kit (Enzyme Colorimetric Method)

Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co., Ltd. has initiated a voluntary Class III recall for a specific batch of its 5′-Nucleotidase (5′-NT) Assay Kit (Enzyme Colorimetric Method). This action, conducted under the regulatory oversight of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), stems from an internal discovery during routine product sample testing. It was found that batch number 043720003 exhibited an upward trend in the “blank absorbance change rate” performance indicator, exceeding the product's designed expectations and technical requirements. This deviation indicates a potential reliability issue with the diagnostic kit's performance.

The company's decision to conduct a voluntary Class III recall signifies a proactive approach to address the identified quality defect and maintain product integrity. A Class III recall is typically issued for situations where the use of, or exposure to, a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. Shenzhen Mindray is taking necessary steps to retrieve the affected units from the market, ensuring compliance with established standards and upholding patient safety.
