COBAS AmpliPrep / COBAS TaqMan HCV Test, US-IVD

The COBAS Ampliprep/COBAS TaqMan HCV Test has been shown to under-quantitate a subset of genotype 4 patient specimens by approximately 1.0-1.5 log 10 in the absence of any sequence mismatches.

COBAS AmpliPrep / COBAS TaqMan HCV Test, CE-IVD

The COBAS Ampliprep/COBAS TaqMan HCV Test has been shown to under-quantitate a subset of genotype 4 patient specimens by approximately 1.0-1.5 log 10 in the absence of any sequence mismatches.

Amplilink Software Versions 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 2.41

For select COBAS AMPLICOR Tests run on the COBAS AMPLICOR Analyzer in conjunction with AMPLILINK software, a discrepancy has been identified between the onboard working reagent stability information reported by AMPLILINK Software (versions 1.1, 1.3, 1.4 and 2.41) and the stability information provided in the test kit package inserts/method manual.

Amplicor [3] AV-HRP. (Avidin-HRP (Horseradish Peroxidase) BGG Conjugate.)

An increased frequency of 'blue foci' that potentially can cause elevated A450 background in microwell plate wells after the addition of conjugate reagent during PCR detection.
