제품 설명
ProScreen PSCup-5M Waived, Catalog Number: PSCup-5M Waived || Product Usage: The ProScreen Drugs of Abuse Test Cup is a one-step immunoassay for the qualitative detection of multiple drugs in human urine (refer to PN: 42141-PS-W). The ProScreen Drugs of Abuse Test Cup is used to obtain a visual, qualitative result and is intended for professional use only. The ProScreen Drugs of Abuse Cup is not for legal or medical diagnostic purposes. This device is not intended for workplace testing. For diagnostic and treatment purposes, consult with a healthcare or substance abuse professional. This assay provides only a preliminary result. Clinical consideration and professional judgment must be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly in evaluating a preliminary positive result. In order to obtain a confirmed analytical result, a more specific alternate chemical method is needed. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmation method.
“We are in constant communication with regulatory agencies and competent authorities worldwide which allows us to implement global recalls or in-country communication quickly and effectively,” Abbott, which now owns St. Jude Medical told ICIJ in a statement. In addition to sending global notices to physicians worldwide, we also make sure that product advisories are available online and classification of product recalls and product advisories are determined by global regulatory bodies which can impact the timing in any given country. MD companies follow varying regulations in different countries. In come countries software is not regulated so a recall in one country related to software would not be classified as a recall or field action in another. In addition, review cycles within the regulatory process can be different in each country which can impact communication and recall timing.
