The health risk assessment was performed by physicians and it was determined that the clinical impact was remote to the populations of patients at risk and unlikely for populations of normal patients. growth pattern analysis identified that only 5 microorganisms represent a risk of a positive atypical dsor reaction and, therefore, a misidentification of the microorganism. for 4 of 5 microorganisms unlikely that potentially misidentification would have a significant negative impact on patients. wrong identification of (1) microorganism that could potentially have a negative impact on the patient, streptococcus gallolyticus (gallolyticus subsp.), is a very unusual cause of infection. each of these 5 microorganisms could be sent to ast (antibiotic susceptibility test) and interpreted using breakpoints available for the respective group: 1) streptococcus spp. viridans group, 2) enterococcus spp., and 3) staphylococcus spp. therefore, an incorrect identification should not have any negative impact on the interpretation of ast (antibiotic susceptibility test) results. based on the health risk assessment, this problem represents a lower overall risk.

The proposed action to address device failures is to send customers an Important Product Notice letter, which instructs customers to repeat the test after an ERRO - E2008 result. Customer orientation is to follow revision D of Xpert GB 300-8907 Instructions for Use - Reasons for Repetition of the Test or Starting Alternate Procedures, which provides three (3) retest options. Cepheid also recommends that laboratory personnel in the vicinity of the test be alert for any errors that may occur. This will save time in case you need to repeat the test.

Causa
Cepheid has received reports that some customers reported a number of pressure drop errors (e2008) greater than the amount typically expected by using this test and its proposed use specimen types. the xpert gbs product has a failure rate of up to 10% known from e2008 when paired with certain samples. root cause of problem: pressure abortions are at a higher rate with certain valve body batches and certain clinical specimens. the likely cause is the filter material of the valve body. a pressure drop error (e2008) will delay the gbs test result and may require the test to be repeated. the error typically occurs within 30 minutes of the start of the test. as with all xpert® assays, when the test has an error, no patient result is reported and the report is designated as "invalid." there is no impact on valid test results. cepheid has implemented corrective action for newly manufactured gxbs-100n-10 batches to prevent further pressure drop errors (e2008) than expected.
