Reason

Following internal investigation of a customer complaint, the manufacturer identified a situation where the Cobas 8100 System Reformatter Module BRF SW Version 02-XX may cause sample racks crash potentially leading to be shaken and specimen to be spilled. There could be an impact on the test performance since a cross-contamination cannot be excluded and could lead to erroneous results. The manufacturer advised us of this on 20-Feb-2017.
