| Reason/Issue |
Through routine quality stability monitoring, Roche has been made aware that certain lots of the cobas 4800 HPV Amplification/Detection Kit are generating an increase in the frequency of invalid Positive Control (PC) results, causing the entire run to be invalidated on the cobas 4800 System. As a precautionary measure, Roche has additionally temporarily shortened expiration dates for other selected lots of these kits to reduce the potential for invalid PC result generation. |
