ABBOTT RESPONSE TO APRIL 23RD KAISER HEALTH NEWS STORY
There is no merit to assertions that the ID NOW testing process is unsafe or endangers operators. Clinicians and lab professionals have been using the same ID NOW sample receiver since 2014 to detect flu, strep, and RSV, and we’ve never had a complaint about operator contamination.
Abbott’s wording is actually very strong here. A complaint in the industry is anything reported confirmed or unconfirmed. So this means that no one has even alleged such a contamination has occurred - not just that it was proven untrue, but never even made.
Complaint records are strictly controlled by regulation and reviewed by the FDA in depth, so this isn’t something Abbott would word and claim like this unless it were true.
