The hazard

The cobas MRSA/SA tests may have decreased performance compared to the analytical sensitivity for MSRA detection. A screening failure can lead to potential infection in the colonized patient being tested as well as the spread of MSRA to others. The United States is not impacted, as the cobas MRSA/SA nucleic acid test for use on the cobas liat system is not available in the US.
