Roche cobas IT 1000 Product Usage: Intended Use: An electronic device intended to store, retrieve, and process laboratory data.
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. is recalling the Roche cobas IT 1000, an electronic device used to store, retrieve, and process laboratory data. The device has a potential safety issue where test results could be assigned to the wrong patient if the system receives certain types of patient information messages (ADMIT, TRANSFER, or MERGE events) containing a patient ID that matches the default Generic Patient ID setting (999999). This means a genuine patient's ID could be confused with the system's placeholder ID, potentially causing test results to be routed incorrectly. A total of 148 units with Part Number 04420306001 have been distributed across 37 U.S. states and Puerto Rico, with specific serial numbers ranging from 2706 to 3107.
The recall affects laboratories nationwide that received the affected Roche cobas IT 1000 devices. The source document does not specify a remedy or corrective action for affected consumers or facilities.
