Responsible Entity Abbott Australasia Pty Ltd Molecular Division
Reason/Issue Abbott Molecular has identified that when duplicate sample IDs are used for multiple replicates of a sample, calibrator or control in the same run: some samples may not be included in the Plate Report; some duplicate sample IDs are reassigned a unique identifier by the software and a warning message is displayed in the Plate Report. These issues occur if duplicate sample IDs are used within a run, on the m24sp Plate Report. The m24sp Plate Report is a PDF file generated by the software for each instrument run. It provides a list of sample ID’s and their processing information and error status.
Recall Action Recall for Product Correction
Recall Action Instructions Abbott Molecular is advising users that to ensure proper function of the Plate Report, duplicate sample IDs should not be used on the m24sp. If two or more replicates of a sample, calibrator or control are being run, a unique sample ID should be used for each of the replicates. This action has been closed-out on 15/07/2016.
