Firm Action

2. Require that the Test_Report.pdf file be used for reporting results for all future sample tests.
3. Require that the Test_Report.pdf file be used to confirm ALL positive call results.
For sample result reporting that use the Test_Report.pdf file and NOT the Target_Summary.tab file, the results are valid, and no further action is needed.
For sample result reporting that use the Target_Summary.tab file on the Torrent SuiteTM Dx software versions indicated above, customers MUST review ALL results obtained using the Target_Summary.tab file against the results shown in the Test_Report.pdf file to identify any occurrences of possible false positive reporting.
4. If you have shared reports using results from the Target_Summary.tab file, outside of your facility, you MUST notify those customers or facilities to take the required action.
