    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE CUSTOMER REPORTED THREE FALSE POSITIVE RESULTS WITH THE ID NOW COVID-19 ASSAY. THIS REPORT REPRESENTS ONE OF THREE. THE CUSTOMER REPORTED FALSE POSITIVE RESULTS ON A DIRECT TESTED NASOPHARYNGEAL SWAB WITH THE ID NOW COVID-19 ASSAY PERFORMED (B)(6) 2021. REPEAT TESTING WAS NOT PERFORMED. CONFIRMATION TESTING WITH PCR PERFORMED (B)(6) 2021 PROVIDED NEGATIVE RESULTS. THE PATIENT WAS TESTED FOR COVID-19 PRIOR TO ADMISSION FOR A LEFT PERIORBITAL CELLULITIS. THE FALSE POSITIVE RESULTS DELAYED FOR TWO DAYS WHILE WAITING FOR NEGATIVE PCR RESULTS. SUBSEQUENTLY, PATIENT WAS ADMITTED AND RECEIVED TREATMENT. PATIENT WAS REPORTED AS STABLE. THE CUSTOMER REPORTED THAT THE DELAY IN TREATMENT WAS CONSIDERED AN INCONVENIENCE. PER THE ID NOW COVID-19 PRODUCT INSERT, PRECAUTIONS INCLUDE: 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.
