    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE CUSTOMER REPORTED FIVE FALSE NEGATIVE TEST RESULTS USING ID NOW COVID-19 ASSAY - ONE WITH NASAL SWABS IN (B)(6) LAB, FOUR WITH NASOPHARYNGEAL SWABS IN TRANSPORT (B)(6) LAB - PERFORMED ON TEST DATE (NOT PROVIDED). SAMPLES WERE COLLECTED (B)(6) 2021. CONFIRMATION TESTING USING NASOPHARYNGEAL SWABS WITH PCR ABBOTT M2000 GENERATED POSITIVE RESULTS (CT VALUES NOT PROVIDED). NO PATIENT INFORMATION, HISTORY, OR IMPACT IS AVAILABLE. THE ID NOW COVID-19 PRODUCT INSERT INDICATES THAT NEGATIVE RESULTS SHOULD BE TREATED AS PRESUMPTIVE AND TESTED WITH AN ALTERNATIVE FDA AUTHORIZED MOLECULAR ASSAY, IF NECESSARY FOR CLINICAL MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING INFECTION CONTROL. THE PI STATES NEGATIVE RESULTS DO NOT PRECLUDE SARS-C0V-2 INFECTION AND SHOULD NOT BE USED AS THE SOLE BASIS FOR PATIENT MANAGEMENT DECISIONS. NEGATIVE RESULTS MUST BE COMBINED WITH CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, PATIENT HISTORY, AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL INFORMATION. ADDITIONALLY, THE ID NOW COVID-19 PRODUCT INSERT INCLUDES A LIMITATION THAT FALSE NEGATIVE RESULTS MAY OCCUR IF A SPECIMEN IS IMPROPERLY COLLECTED, TRANSPORTED OR HANDLED. FALSE NEGATIVE RESULTS MAY ALSO OCCUR IF AMPLIFICATION INHIBITORS ARE PRESENT IN THE SPECIMEN OR IF INADEQUATE LEVELS OF VIRUSES ARE PRESENT IN THE SPECIMEN. DUE TO THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL FALSE NEGATIVE RESULT LEADING TO NO OR DELAYED TREATMENT, THIS EVENT SHALL BE CONSIDERED REPORTABLE.
