    Reason

    Microbiologics is recalling a number of lots of KWIK-QC Gram Stain Slides. This product gram negative control organism (E.coli) is not properly fixated on the slide, which may cause the user to unintentionally contaminate the patient area of the slide by flooding the control well with stain. This contamination could potentially lead to misdiagnosis and improper treatment of a patient.
