    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    A CUSTOMER IN (B)(6) REPORTED AN UNEXPECTED NUMBER OF POSITIVE RESULTS WITH THE COBAS SARS-COV-2 TEST FOR A SPECIFIC RUN PERFORMED ON (B)(6) 2021. DURING THIS RUN, THERE WERE 21 SAMPLES THAT GENERATED POSITIVE RESULTS IN EITHER TARGET 1 (SARS-COV-2) AND/OR TARGET 2 (SARBECOVIRUS) WITH LATE CT VALUES. WHEN THESE SAMPLES WERE REPEATED, 19 OUT OF THE 21 GENERATED NEGATIVE RESULTS. RECOLLECTIONS OF THESE PATIENTS WERE TAKEN AND TESTED, AND AGAIN GENERATED POSITIVE RESULTS WITH SIMILAR CT VALUES AS SEEN DURING INITIAL TESTING. THESE RECOLLECTED SAMPLES WERE ALSO MEASURED BY LIGHT MIX E-GENE, AND 2 POSITIVES WERE GENERATED (19 NEGATIVE RESULTS). RESULTS WERE REPORTED AND NO HARM OR INJURY WAS INDICATED. AN INVESTIGATION WAS PERFORMED AND NO ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED. NINETEEN MDRS WILL BE FILED, ONE FOR EACH OF THE PATIENT SAMPLES GENERATING THE DISCREPANT RESULTS AS PER FDA REQUEST.
