Information on the LeadCare Test Kit “Controls Out of Range-Low”
(“COOR-LO”) Recall

July 20, 2021

We are experiencing very high call and email volumes at this time. Our Product Support Team is processing requests as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience as we work to respond to your inquiries.

Covid related delays and disruptions have impacted many healthcare suppliers’ ability to provide customers with raw materials of consistent quality in a timely manner. Magellan has experienced such a disruption.

The Magellan quality management system identified discrepancies in the performance of LeadCare test kits, and suspects this is due to a discrepancy in a raw material that is used to manufacture plastic treatment reagent tubes and caps for these kits. As the issue has the potential to underestimate blood lead levels when processing patient samples, Magellan voluntarily recalled test kits and has temporarily suspended shipping. Magellan is conducting numerous studies and experiments to understand the root cause of the issue, and is attempting to identify suitable replacement materials such that shipments can resume as quickly as possible. At this time Magellan does not have a date when shipments will resume.

Please note LeadCare Analyzers (LeadCare® II, LeadCare Plus®, and LeadCare Ultra®) ARE NOT impacted by this recall. You are still able to use this instrumentation.
