Product testing did not meet expected stability criteria.
As a result of Post-Market half-time stability testing, false negative test result was observed for a positive sample type.
Specimen collection device may leak after the patient sample swabs have been inserted into the test tubes, which could result in biohazard exposure, cross contamination causing false positive results for other specimens, and/or delay to test results.
