Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. is recalling 82 cobas b 123 Fluid Pack COOX units (catalog number 05170036001) distributed nationwide in Louisiana, South Carolina, California, Texas, Nebraska, Virginia, and West Virginia, as well as Puerto Rico. The recall involves lot numbers 21446113 (expiration 9/5/2015) and 21446153 (expiration 9/24/2015). The cobas b 123 POC system is a fully automated device used to measure pH and other blood parameters in whole blood samples.
The recall was issued because a calibration issue with the PO2 parameter can cause the device to produce erroneously low PO2 results, particularly in blood samples with PO2 values below 50 mmHg. Quality control failures affecting primarily Levels 1 and 2 may not be detected because results can fall below mean values while still remaining within acceptable statistical limits. The recall notice does not specify a remedy for affected consumers.

Low PO2 results. QC failures of the PO2 parameter, affecting primarily Levels 1 and 2, caused by a calibration issue with the PO2 parameter. This issue may not be detected since QC results can be below mean values, but still within 2 standard deviations (SD) limits. Potential for erroneously low PO2 results in patient samples, especially in blood samples with PO2 values below 50 mmHg
