Roche Diagnostics Recalls

Hazard: A software malfunction can occur on the cobas e 411 and Elecsys 2010 analyzers in the Sample& Control data file which may lead to a potential data mismatch.

Hazard: A software malfunction can occur on the cobas e 411 and Elecsys 2010 analyzers in the Sample& Control data file which may lead to a potential data mismatch.

Hazard: Roche has confirmed that a possible sample mismatch issue may occur on the MODULAR ANALYTICS E 170 module, cobas e 601 analyzer, or cobas e 602 analyzer due to a software limitation.

Hazard: a gap between the conveyor belt and the rack tray table (plastic part) may cause vibration of the 5 position racks during the transport. This issue can pose a potential risk to involved operators and can also lead to potential cross contamination of samples in the affected racks.

Hazard: e-barcode and value sheet for PreciControl Varia contains a typographical error for the target values for the Elecsys PTH (parathyroid hormone) and Elecsys PTH STAT immunoassays

Hazard: Due to a design change in 2015, corrosion on the sample probe electrical contacts can occur and lead to a disturbance of the sample liquid level detection (LLD). When disturbance of the sample liquid level detection (LLD) occurs, the affected sample probe may dip into the sample material deeper than intended. This may lead to carryover and medical risk cannot be excluded.

Hazard: Roche Diagnostics Corp. initiated a voluntary correction because a rack crash may occur on the Cobas 8100 bi-directional reformatter (BRF) and uni-directional reformatter (BRF) modules with software version 02-xx, only when rack buffering is activated and the rack buffer is completely full. This issue can lead to sample spillage, posing a potential risk to operators / laboratory staff due to exposure to potentially infectious material, cross-contamination of samples in the affected racks and erroneous results due to sample carry-over.
