Recall Action Classification Class III
Recall Action Commencement Date 25/09/2015
Responsible Entity Roche Diagnostics Australia Pty Limited
Reason/Issue Roche has received a number of complaints that the recovery of C-Reactive Protein Gen. 3 (CRPL3) was too high in PreciControl ClinChem Multi 1 (PCCC1), and especially in PreciControl ClinChem Multi 2 (PCCC2), seen mainly on the cobas c 501 module.

Roche Diagnostics has investigated and determined that the last three reagent lots showed higher recovery for all control materials. To resolve this issue a revised target value assignment procedure was necessary.
Target values for currently available PCCC1 and PCCC2 control lots have been adjusted – as per the tables given in the Customer Letter.
