THE COMPLAINTS HISTORY SHOWED NO OTHER COMPLAINT ON THE BD MAX¿ EXK¿ TNA-3 LOT 0091427 NOR ON THE BD SARS-COV-2 REAGENTS KIT LOT 0112228. IN THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS, 21 OTHER COMPLAINTS WERE RECEIVED WITH THE BD MAX¿ EXK¿ TNA-3, AND 28 OTHER WITH THE BD SARS COV-2 REAGENTS, CONCERNING A SIMILAR ISSUE (FALSE POSITIVE OR DISCREPANT RESULT), WITH VARIOUS POTENTIAL CAUSES INCLUDING LOD OF PARTNER OR ALTERNATIVE METHOD, CONTAMINATION, COMPONENT- URS TIPS AND INSTRUMENT.

MOREOVER, RETAIN MATERIAL TESTING FROM THE BD MAX¿ EXK¿ TNA-3 KIT LOT 0091427 AND BD SARS-COV-2 REAGENTS KIT LOT 0112228 (COMBINATION USED BY THE CUSTOMER) GAVE EXPECTED NEGATIVE RESULTS. THE REAGENTS STILL PERFORM AS EXPECTED AND WERE NOT SUSPECTED OF BEING INVOLVED IN THE CUSTOMER ISSUE. ONE RUN WAS PROVIDED FOR THE ANALYSIS. RUN 2857 HAD ONE POSITIVE RESULT AND THE ANALYSIS SHOWED A TRUE POSITIVE SAMPLE. INDEED, A POSITIVE RESULT WAS OBTAINED FOR BOTH THE N1 AND N2 TARGETS, WITH CT VALUES OF 28,2 AND 28,4 RESPECTIVELY, AND EP VALUES OF 2386 AND 3337, RESPECTIVELY, BOTH ABOVE THE EP DYNAMIC THRESHOLD VALUES NECESSARY TO BE CALLED POSITIVE BY THE ALGORITHM. ANALYSIS OF THE CURVES IN RAW RAW REVEALED NO ANOMALY AND CONFIRMED THAT THE SAMPLE WAS A TRUE POSITIVE. NO ANOMALY WAS OBSERVED IN IN CT VALUES AND LEVEL OF FLUORESCENCE, CONTRARY TO WHAT WAS MENTIONED BY THE CUSTOMER. OVERALL, THE RESULTS OBTAINED SHOWED THAT THE POSITIVE RESULT OBTAINED ON RUN 2857 WAS A TRUE BD SARS COV-2 POSITIVE SAMPLE. THE REAGENTS WERE NOT SUSPECTED OF BEING INVOLVED IN THE CUSTOMER ISSUE.
