    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT LOWER THAN EXPECTED VITROS VALP QUALITY CONTROL RESULTS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE VITROS 5,1 FS CHEMISTRY SYSTEM. THE INVESTIGATION FOUND NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THE RESULTS IN QUESTION WERE CAUSED BY AN ANALYZER MALFUNCTION. A DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. HOWEVER, VITROS VALP REAGENT PACK HANDLING COULD NOT BE RULED OUT AS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS EVENT IS UNKNOWN.
