Why it was recalled

Respiratory pathogen panel may report an elevated rate (7.6% predicted probability of occurrence) of non-specific hMPV target (human Metapneumovirus) results, risk identified predominantly in clinical samples that present positivity for another target, leading to an erroneous co-infection result, can potentially result in hMPV false positives.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
