Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.: Factor V Leiden kit catalog number 03610179001, Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN The Factor V Leiden Kit allows the detection and genotyping of a single point mutation (G to A at position 1691) of the human Factor V gene, referred to as Factor V Leiden mutation, from DNA isolated from human whole peripheral blood. The test is performed on the LightCycler 2.0 Instrument utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of Factor V DNA recovered from clinical specimens and fluorogenic target-specific hybridization for the detection of genotyping of the amplified Factor V DNA. The Factor V Leiden test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the detection and genotyping of the Factor V Leiden mutation as an aid to diagnosis in the evaluation of patients with suspected thrombophilia. The test is intended to be used on the LightCycler 2.0 Instrument using the LightCycler Software 4.05 or 4.1.

Reason

If the bar code is printed from the Batch Results Screen, a wrong batch ID may be printed, while the correct batch ID is still assigned to the batch in the data repository of the MPLC 2.0 software. This may result in sample mis identification. If printed from the ordering screens, the bar code is printed with the correct batch ID.
