Roche Diagnostics Corporation recalls Sample probes associated with: cobas 6000 Series System, cobas 8000 Modular Analyzer Series, cobas c 311 analyzer cob
Recalled May 17, 2017 · FDA recall Z-2049-2017 · Roche Diagnostics
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. · FDA Class II
