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:
i. The company is going out of business, hence would not be able to continue fulfilling any post-market responsibilities of these distributed products.
ii. Four 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.
Consumers who still have unused tests manufactured by Universal Meditech Inc. (please refer to product identifications below) should stop using the device immediately and:
- discard any remaining stock in the trash,
- or ship back to Universal Meditech at our expense (please contact us for the courier account information).
Recalled products were manufactured and distributed from March 2021 to November 2022.
The following styles/models/UDI have been recalled:
