MAUDE data represents reports of adverse events involving medical devices. This maude entry was filed from a 01,05 report with the FDA on 2011-02-24 for COBAS? TAQMAN? 48 ANALYZER manufactured by Roche Diagnostics, Ltd..
[1934689]
A customer site in (b)(6) reported that they received an erroneous under-quantified result when using the cobas taqman (b)(6) test for use with the high pure system test - (b)(6). Their initial result was target not detected (tnd) but the customer recognized that the normalized and un-normalized analysis curves were different and indicated that the sample was a high titer sample. When the sample was re-tested, it generated a very high titer result - (b)(6).
Patient Sequence No: 1, Text Type: D, B5

This issue is currently under investigation. No conclusions can be drawn at this time. (b)(4).

(b)(4) computer software performance tests conducted, algorithm analysis, software / firmware caused event, unusual event. The investigation determined that the discrepant target not detected (tnd) result was caused by the baseline normalization calculation of the elth algorithm. In very rare instances, the analysis curves of the affected samples are noisy in the first few cycles. The (b)(4) curves did not have enough valid baseline points for a correct calculation of the baseline. Therefore, the data points of the plateau region were incorrectly used for the calculation of the baseline, leading to an incorrect tnd result. All affected roche molecular systems assays were assessed for risks and possible impacts due to the elth baseline normalization anomaly. All potential failure modes were analyzed. The anomaly has an extremely low rate of occurrence. (b)(4). All residual risks identified were determined to be in the acceptable or alarp (as low as reasonably practical) range. The overall residual risk was determined to be acceptable with no major impact on assay or system performance expected. (b)(4).
