Fujirebio Diagnostics recalled 148 units of Lumipulse pTau 217 Plasma Controls on December 11, 2025. The recall follows reports of inaccurate test results that misclassify patients regarding Alzheimer’s disease. The affected product may falsely elevate positive or indeterminate results, increasing the risk of incorrect patient classification.
Customers may experience inaccurate test results by observing a higher frequency of classification in the indeterminate and positive zone and/or low specificity when compared back to FDA-cleared CSF ratio/PET imaging, due to falsely elevated positive ratio or falsely elevated indeterminate ratio results causing an incorrect classification of a patient as having amyloid pathology associated with Alzheimer s disease (positive result) and/or requiring more clinical testing of that patient (indeterminate result).
Patients and healthcare providers should stop using this device immediately. Follow the recall instructions provided by the manufacturer. Contact Fujirebio Diagnostics, Inc. or your healthcare provider for instructions. Notification method: Letter
