    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE NEGATIVE CONTROLS AND KNOWN NEGATIVE SAMPLES CONTINUOUSLY RESULT AS EXPECTED. THERE IS NO OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT REPRODUCIBILITY OF THE LATE CT APART FROM VERBAL COMMUNICATION FROM THE CUSTOMER THAT "IN A FEW CASES THE CURVE WENT AWAY AFTER REPEATING". IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT METHODS WERE USED FOR THE REPEAT TESTING. THE CUSTOMER USES A WORKLFLOW (HIMEDIA SWABS WITH QUANTSTUDIO 5DX (THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC) IN COMBINATION WITH QIASYMPHONY® SP INSTRUMENT AND MANUAL EXTRACTION KIT FROM QIAGEN) THAT WAS NOT VALIDATED BY FTD - A SIEMENS HEALTHINEERS COMPANY WITH THE SARS-COV-2 PCR TEST. THE FTD SARS-COV-2 LIMIT OF DETECTION (LOD) AS DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (IFU), IS CT 37.4-38.0. THE IFU STATES IN THE LIMITATIONS SECTION: "THE PERFORMANCE OF THE KIT HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND VALIDATED USING THE PROCEDURES PROVIDED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ONLY. MODIFICATIONS TO THESE PROCEDURES MAY ALTER THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TEST." "OTHER PARAMETERS CAN LEAD TO FALSE POSITIVE, NEGATIVE OR INVALID RESULTS RELATED TO PATIENT CONDITIONS (USE OF ANTIVIRAL THERAPY, PATIENT AGE, PATIENT HISTORY OF RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS, PRESENCE OF SYMPTOMS AND THE STAGE OF INFECTION)." "LOW LEVELS OF VIRUSES CAN BE DETECTED BELOW THE LIMIT OF DETECTION, BUT RESULTS MAY NOT BE REPRODUCIBLE." LIMITED INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED DESPITE FTD - A SIEMENS HEALTHINEERS COMPANY'S ATTEMPTS TO COLLECT. THE CUSTOMER HAS DECIDED NOT TO CONTINUE USING THE FTD SARS-COV-2 PCR TEST, THEREFORE IT IS NOT EXPECTED THAT FURTHER INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED. A FALSE POSITIVE RESULT WOULD HAVE NEGLIGIBLE CLINICAL IMPACT AS MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT DECISIONS ARE BASED ON SEVERITY OF CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT PRIMARILY CONSISTS OF SUPPORTIVE CARE. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY IN THIS CASE, AN MDR WILL BE REPORTED TO THE FDA AS A REQUIREMENT OF THE EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION (EUA). BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, THERE IS NO INDICATION OF A PRODUCT PROBLEM. NO FURTHER EVALUATION OF THE DEVICE IS REQUIRED.
