Recent recalls

  • 2024-10-09Open, ClassifiedDevice Design

    NxTAG Respiratory Pathogen Panel +SARS-CoV-2, REF: I056C0468

    Respiratory pathogen panel may report an elevated rate (7.6% predicted probability of occurrence) of non-specific hMPV target (human Metapneumovirus) results, risk identified predominantly in clinical samples that present positivity for another target, leading to an erroneous co-infection result, can potentially result in hMPV false positives.

  • 2023-07-27Open, ClassifiedProcess control

    QIAstat-Dx Respiratory SARS-CoV-2 Panel -US IVD qualitative test intended for analyzing nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) samples from patients suspected of respiratory infection for the presence of viral or bacterial nucleic acids REF 691223

    Identified a decreased performance reliability rate, Run abortions could cause delayed diagnosis since sample testing would have to be repeated

  • 2023-07-27Open, ClassifiedProcess control

    QIAstat-Dx Respiratory SARS-CoV-2 Panel (V1 and V2, CE IVD, not US IVD, not sold in the US.) Qualitative test intended for analyzing nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) samples from patients suspected of respiratory infection REF: 691214

    Identified a decreased performance reliability rate, Run abortions could cause delayed diagnosis since sample testing would have to be repeated

  • 2023-06-02Open, ClassifiedUnder Investigation by firm

    QIAstat-Dx Respiratory SARS-CoV-2 Panel multiplexed nucleic acid real-time PCR test, Reference Number 691223

    Faulty cartridges in the lot could result in false test results.

  • 2023-02-07Open, ClassifiedDevice Design

    cobas SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B Qualitative assay for use on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems; Material number 09233474190

    The firm received customer complaints regarding false negative Influenza A (Flu A) results and late Flu A Target Ct values. A false negative influenza A result may lead to additional testing, psychological distress, and delays to targeted therapy for influenza as well as true diagnosis.

  • 2023-02-07Open, ClassifiedDevice Design

    cobas SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B Qualitative nucleic acid test for use on the cobas 5800/6800/8800 Systems; Material Number 09446125190

    The firm received customer complaints regarding false negative Influenza A (Flu A) results and late Flu A Target Ct values. A false negative influenza A result may lead to additional testing, psychological distress, and delays to targeted therapy for influenza as well as true diagnosis.

  • 2023-02-07Open, ClassifiedDevice Design

    cobas Influenza A/B & RSV UC (Utility Channel) Qualitative nucleic acid test for use on the cobas 6800/8800 Systems; Material number 09233962190

    The firm received customer complaints regarding false negative Influenza A (Flu A) results and late Flu A Target Ct values. A false negative influenza A result may lead to additional testing, psychological distress, and delays to targeted therapy for influenza as well as true diagnosis.

  • TerminatedEmployee error

    QIAstat-Dx Respiratory SARS-CoV-2 Panel (US IVD under FDA EUA 200075); REF 691223

    The firm identified sixteen (16) faulty cartridges in LOT 210209, which contain incorrect primer-probe mixes in the reaction chambers. If an affected cartridge is used, false-negative, false-positive, or both false-negative and false-positive results could occur.

  • Open, ClassifiedProcess control

    NeuMoDx Flu A-B/RSV/SARS-CoV-2 Vantage Test Strip, Model No. 300900

    There is a potential for reduced analytical sensitivity for samples in the 1x - 3x LOD range for Flu A, RSV, and SARS-CoV-2 targets. This may lead to false negative results, allowing ongoing transmission to others and delaying appropriate treatment.

  • TerminatedUnder Investigation by firm

    cobas SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B Test for use on the cobas Liat System, Catalog Number 09211101190

    Customers have reported an increased number of false positive SARS-CoV-2 results.
