Product
Simplexa Flu A/B & RSV Direct assay, Model MOL2650. The Focus Diagnostics Simplexa Flu A/B & RSV Direct assay is intended for use on the 3M Integrated Cycler instrument for the in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A virus, influenza B virus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) RNA in nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. This test is intended for use as an aid in the differential diagnosis of influenza A, influenza B, and RSV viral infections in humans and is not intended to detect influenza C.
Reason for recall
Focus Diagnostics is initiating an urgent safety notice correction for Simplexa Flu A/B & RSV Direct assay (MOL2650) because Focus Diagnostics has received some customer complaints of Simplexa Flu A/B & RSV lots due to sporadic false positive RSV signals, which may result in a higher RSV false positive rate.
