Reason

Alere initiated this recall of certain lots of the Oral Fluid Drug Screen Device because the sponge may become dislodged from the Saliva Collector handle prior to or during the oral fluid sample collection process. If the sponge becomes dislodged during the specimen collection process, the donor may inadvertently swallow the sponge which could present a choking risk.
