cobas pro integrated solutions with cobas c 503 analytical units: cobas pro sample... recall (Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.)

Medical deviceClass IIOngoing

Summary: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. is recalling cobas pro integrated solutions with cobas c 503 analytical units: cobas pro sample supply unit, material number 08464502001 cobas pro SSU, material number 09205632001 Affected Assays: (Product Name/ Catalog Number/ Application Code/ Application Short Name) 1. Cystatin C Gen.2 0810559619. Reason: Software defect, which allows the system to accept erroneous, non-monotonous calibrations for Spline-type assays. Cobas pro integrated solutions is an automated analyzer, intended for running qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative clinical chemistry and immunochemistry assays, as well as ion-selective measurements. When an erroneous calibration is active, the instrument fails to calculate new values and instead repeats the last successfully calculated result from any Spline-type assay for all subsequent measurements, leading to identical and erroneous patient and QC results. The defect could lead to patients receiving erroneous lab results, which could result in a remote risk of serious adverse health consequences. The following assays use spline type calibration and are affected by this issue: Cystatin C Gen.2, Ferritin Gen.4, Lipoprotein (a) Gen. 2, Lipoprotein (a) molarity, Vancomycin Gen.3, Kappa Free Light Chains Partner Channel, Lambda Free Light Chains Partner Channel, and fCAL turbo Partner Channel.
