    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    THE INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT LOWER THAN EXPECTED VITROS TSH RESULTS WERE OBTAINED FROM A NON-VITROS BIORAD IMMUNOASSAY PLUS QUALITY CONTROL (QC) FLUID, LOT 40430 WHEN TESTED USING VITROS IMMUNODIAGNOSTIC PRODUCTS TSH REAGENT ON A VITROS XT 7600 INTEGRATED SYSTEM. AN ASSIGNABLE CAUSE OF THE EVENT WAS NOT DETERMINED. PRE-ANALYTICAL SAMPLE HANDLING COULD NOT BE RULED OUT AS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR, AS IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE STABILITY OF THE QC VIAL USED. THEREFORE, IMPROPER PRE-ANALYTICAL SAMPLE HANDLING COULD BE A CONTRIBUTOR TO THIS EVENT. THERE WERE TWO INSTRUMENTS AFFECTED AND INSTRUMENT PERFORMANCE IS NOT A LIKELY CONTRIBUTOR TO THE EVENTS. HOWEVER, IT CANNOT BE ENTIRELY RULED OUT AS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR AS PRECISION TESTING TO ASSESS INSTRUMENT PERFORMANCE WAS NOT PERFORMED BY THE CUSTOMER.
