Reported risk: The Cobas Liat System allows the use of several different barcode types for sample identification. If any of these barcode types are used together with Codabar or Code 39 barcodes and match an existing Codabar or Code 39 exactly, it is theoretically possible that a sample mismatch between the two samples could occur when using software version 3.0.
