    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE CUSTOMER REPORTED A FALSE POSITIVE RESULT WITH THE ID NOW COVID-19 ASSAY PERFORMED ON (B)(6) 2021 ON A NASOPHARYNGEAL SAMPLE. REPEAT TESTING WAS NOT PERFORMED. CONFIRMATION TESTING ON AN UNKNOWN SWAB WITH PCR GENERATED NEGATIVE RESULTS; CT VALUES NOT PROVIDED. THE CUSTOMER STATED THE PATIENT WAS NOT SYMPTOMATIC. IT WAS REPORTED THE PATIENT WAS TAKEN TO THE GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER TESTING AFTER RECEIVING A POSITIVE RESULT WITH THE ID NOW COVID-19 ASSAY. THE CUSTOMER CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO PATIENT HARM DUE TO THE TEST RESULTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE CUSTOMER CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO DELAY OR IMPACT IN THE PATIENT'S TREATMENT. POSITIVE RESULTS ARE INDICATIVE OF THE PRESENCE OF SARS-COV-2 RNA; CLINICAL CORRELATION WITH PATIENT HISTORY AND OTHER DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION IS NECESSARY TO DETERMINE PATIENT INFECTION STATUS. POSITIVE RESULTS DO NOT RULE OUT BACTERIAL INFECTION OR CO-INFECTION WITH OTHER VIRUSES. DUE TO THE HIGH SENSITIVITY OF THE ASSAYS RUN ON THE INSTRUMENT, CONTAMINATION OF THE WORK AREA WITH PREVIOUS POSITIVE SAMPLES MAY CAUSE FALSE POSITIVE RESULTS. HANDLE SAMPLES ACCORDING TO STANDARD LABORATORY PRACTICES. CLEAN INSTRUMENTS AND SURROUNDING SURFACES ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED IN THE CLEANING SECTION OF THE INSTRUMENT USER MANUAL. DUE TO THE RISK OF A FALSE POSITIVE RESULT LEADING TO POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO COVID-19 THROUGH THE QUARANTINE OF THE FALSE POSITIVE PATIENT WITH TRUE POSITIVE PATIENT(S), DELAYED EMERGENCY TREATMENT AND/OR INAPPROPRIATE TREATMENT WITH ANTIVIRAL THERAPY, THE INCIDENT SHALL BE CONSIDERED REPORTABLE.
