Plain-English summary
Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. is recalling 1,050 units of the cobas 8000 modular analyzer series, including the ISE module, cobas c 502, 701, and 702 modules, and cobas e 602 and 801 modules. The recall covers units distributed nationwide in the United States.
The recall is due to a potential for changed configuration settings on the cobas 8000 modular analyzer series and cobas pro integrated solutions. This issue may cause incorrect results in several affected parameters. In cases of poor sample quality, discrepant results may remain undetected because associated data flags are absent.
Healthcare facilities and laboratories using these devices should contact Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. for instructions on how to address the configuration settings and ensure accurate testing results.
