  • Action

Customers were notified of the interference and the method sheets and package inserts will be updated with the new interference claims. The firm plans to monitor any non-responding accounts and address those customers with follow-up attempts to distribute recall notices. The firm plans to conduct level B effectiveness checks via fax and phone. Until the new method sheets are available, the Urgent Medical Device Correction serves as the updated labeling. Roche is not requesting return of the affected product. Customers may contact Todd Siesky Corporate Communications Director, Phone: 317.521.3911, Fax: 317.521.4696, E-mail: todd.siesky@roche.com.
