A customer from sweden notified biomerieux of a contamination issue leading to false positive results and an overestimated result for polyoma bk virus result in association with the easymag? Instrument ((b)(4)). The customer reported a patient? S urine sample containing high dose of polyoma bk virus has cross- contaminated four separate patient samples (serum samples) also being tested for polyoma bk. The customer confirmed the four patients were grafted male patients hospitalized at the time of the testing, and taking immunosuppressive therapy. The contamination resulted in false positive polyoma bk virus results for three patient samples. These three patients were retested two weeks later using the easymag? And all obtained negative results for polyoma bk virus. The customer confirmed one patient sample result was falsely overestimated for polyoma bk virus due to the contamination. This patient was confirmed positive by re-testing performed two weeks later. The customer stated for the three polyoma bk virus negative patients, the false positive results led to change of immunosuppressive drug dosage; therapy management for the fourth patient was not reported. Biomerieux will initiate an internal investigation.
