Meanwhile, the manufacturer, Universal Meditech Inch., stopped all operations. It’s unclear why.
The tests are:
- One Step Pregnancy Test
- DiagnosUS One Step Ovulation Test
- HealthyWiser UriTest 10 Parameter Reagent Test Strips for Urinalysis
- HealthyWiser UriTest UTI Test Strips
- HealthyWiser KetoFast Ketone Test Strips
- HealthyWiser pH-Aware pH Test Strips

- PrestiBio Pregnancy Strips
- PrestiBio Rapid Detection Pregnancy Test Midstream
- PrestiBio Ovulation Strips
- PrestiBio Urinalysis Test Strip 10 Parameters
- PrestiBio Ketone Test Strips
- PrestiBio Breast Milk Alcohol Test Strips
- These tests have been solid online by AC&C Distribution, LLC., HealthyWiser, Home Health US Inc. and Prestige Biotech Inc.
Officials say the tests were distributed under the brand names of those distributors, but may have not identified UMI as the manufacturer.
