Background Information Or Related Documents:
Roche has confirmed a problem with K-Tips (M/N: 03287343001), Lots 09001108, 09002108, 09003108, 09004108, 09005108, 09006108, 09007108, 09008108 and 09009108, which are for use with the COBAS® AmpliPrep Instrument. The affected lots contain K-Tips that are completely closed (near the pipetting end of the K-Tip), which prevents the COBAS® AmpliPrep Instrument from pipetting eluate from the SPU into the K-Tube. Roche has confirmed that use of these defective K-Tips will result in an invalid run and no reportable results. Roche is recalling all affected lots.
