Recalled products

  1. Rota-strip Test Kit 

Reason

The intensity of the rotavirus test line signals generated by the incriminated rota positive control could be judged too weak. As a consequence, one may erroneously conclude that the tested diagnostic kit quality is beyond the expectations and that weak positive signals could be missed with clinical samples.
