The cobas b 221 instruments are point of care systems used for the determination of multiple blood gas and metabolic parameters, as well as electrolytes. Automated QC measurements may be used to ensure system validity. The reported software limitation issue affecting automatic QC measurements does not directly impact patient results. However, the absence of quality control results may lead to erroneous patient results caused by an unrelated system issue to remain undetected. Erroneous patient results (high, normal, or low) may lead to wrong or delayed diagnosis and/or treatment.
