Description

MEDTOXscan Reader

Reason

Reader was marketed without a 510(k).

Action

Consignees were notified by telephone starting 02/08/2008. They were being read the following script.: This is (company representative) calling regarding the MEDTOXscan Reader , Serial Number #######, that we sent to you on (date). Based on recent discussions with the FDA it has been determined that the reader should have had FDA clearance prior to MEDTOX marketing the reader. Since the MEDTOXscan Reader was marketed without 510(k) clearance it is considered mis-branded. MEDTOX is voluntarily recalling all readers until we receive this clearance. The PROFILE III ER devices sold for use with the readers are appropriately cleared by the FDA, and can be read visually, independent of the reader and therefore are not affected by the recall. Please discontinue using the reader immediately. We will send you shipping materials and instructions on how to return the reader to MEDTOX. You will receive these materials within the next 7 days and we request that you return the reader to MEDTOX within 5 days. Your assistance is appreciated and necessary. The Food and Drug Administration is aware of this recall.
