All sample numbers beginning with the letter combination “LHR” are affected. In this case, the test cannot be evaluated. The affected PCR gargle tests can be returned to any BIPA branch by September 30 without any problems. The five free tests are not reduced, so an additional pick-up code is not necessary.
As a spokeswoman for Lead Horizon reported on Saturday, not all of the 600,000 PCR tests are affected by the mislabelling. Therefore, if the sample number on the sample tube label matches that in the instructions for use accompanying the test set, the set can be used. How many tests in the batch are actually affected cannot be determined at this time, the spokeswoman said.
