| cobas KRAS Mutation Test for In Vitro Diagnostic Use Product Usage: Usage: The cobas KRAS Mutation Test, for use with the cobas 4800 System, is a real-time PCR test intended for the identification of mutations in codons 12, 13 and 61 of the KRAS gene in DNA derived from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human colorectal cancer (CRC). | 05852170190; Lot P06778 | Class III | During the real-time stability testing for the cobas KRAS Mutation Test on the commercial lot PO6778, it was identified that the kit was just within specifications for the codon 61 peak height ratio, and that the kit has trended towards the upper specification limit at the 6 month time point but did passed the 6 month stability testing. The kit is labeled for 9 months shelf life stability. The data shows that the commercial kits are degrading at an accelerated rate when compared to pilot lots. The degradation will lead to an increased rate of invalid results but will not cause incorrect calls. | 264 kits to 13 EU countries; 2 kits to Canada and 33 kits to 11 countries in the Rest of the World | Z-2159-2012 |
