Roche Diagnostics Corporation is recalling sample probes used in multiple cobas laboratory analyzer systems distributed nationwide. The recall affects 3,946 units due to a design change made in 2015 that can cause corrosion on the sample probe's electrical contacts. This corrosion can interfere with the device's ability to detect sample liquid levels, potentially causing the probe to dip deeper into samples than intended.
When the sample probe dips too deeply, it may cause carryover between samples, which could pose a medical risk. The recall involves sample probes with specific catalog numbers and lot numbers for the cobas c 311, cobas c 501/502, cobas c 701/702, and cobas 8000 ISE analyzers. The source document does not specify a remedy for affected consumers.

Due to a design change in 2015, corrosion on the sample probe electrical contacts can occur and lead to a disturbance of the sample liquid level detection (LLD). When disturbance of the sample liquid level detection (LLD) occurs, the affected sample probe may dip into the sample material deeper than intended. This may lead to carryover and medical risk cannot be excluded.
