Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

The Lactobacillus acidophilus negative control (item 0243 single KWIK-STIK) contained in the 8164 Cepheid Xpert GBS QC Set and 8165 Cepheid Smart GBS QC Set was found to test positive for Group B Streptococcus (GBS) in some cases. This causes a failure when used as a quality control for the Cepheid Xpert GBS and Cepheid Smart GBS systems. The failure of the quality control test causes a disruption for the testing laboratory which may result in repeated testing or the need for alternative test methods. This recall is applicable to the 8164 and 8165 sets only.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
