    INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: MATERIAL #: 366603, LOT/BATCH #: 4024091. BD RECEIVED YOUR CUSTOMER COMPLAINT RELATED TO PLATELET CLUMPING. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT USAGE OF THIS PRODUCT FOR PLATELET COUNT IS CONSIDERED AN OFF-LABEL USE. THE INTENDED USE IS LIMITED TO SAMPLE COLLECTION USED IN THE MEASUREMENT OF HEMOGLOBIN (HGB) & HEMATOCRIT (HCT), WHEN ANALYZED ON SYSMEX XN - SERIES¿ SYSTEMS. LIMITATION NOTES ARE INCLUDED IN THE IFU AND PRINTED ON THE TUBE UNIT LABEL. NEVERTHELESS, EIGHT (8) RETENTION SAMPLES FROM BD INVENTORY WERE EVALUATED BY FUNCTIONAL TESTING AND NO ISSUES WERE OBSERVED RELATING TO THE INDICATED FAILURE MODE. RETENTION SAMPLE TESTING REVEALED ALL SAMPLES MET THE PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS OUTLINED IN THE STANDARD FOR SINGLE-USE CONTAINERS FOR HUMAN VENOUS BLOOD SPECIMEN COLLECTION (ISO6710). ADDITIONALLY, BD PERFORMED A CLINICAL STUDY ON 67 RETURNED SAMPLES TO VERIFY THE DESIGN OF THE DEVICE MET ITS INTENDED USE. SEVEN (7) OF THE SIXTY-SEVEN (67) SAMPLES WERE FLAGGED FOR PLATELET CLUMPS (10.4%). NONE OF THESE SAMPLES SHOWED VISUAL EVIDENCE OF PLATELET CLUMPS UPON SMEAR REVIEW. THEREFORE, ALL SAMPLES TESTED MET SPECIFICATIONS. THE REPORTED CONDITION OF PLATELET CLUMPING COULD NOT BE CONFIRMED AS THE DEFECT COULD NOT BE REPLICATED AND THE USAGE OF THIS PRODUCT FOR PLATELET COUNT IS CONSIDERED AN OFF-LABEL USE. BD WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY A ROOT CAUSE FOR THE INDICATED FAILURE MODE. BASED ON A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD FOR THE INCIDENT LOT, ALL PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR LOT RELEASE WERE MET. THERE WERE NO RELATED QUALITY ISSUES DURING MANUFACTURING OF THE PRODUCT. COMPLAINTS RECEIVED FOR THIS DEVICE AND REPORTED CONDITION WILL CONTINUE TO BE TRACKED AND TRENDED. OUR BUSINESS TEAM REGULARLY REVIEWS THE COLLECTED DATA FOR IDENTIFICATION OF EMERGING TRENDS. BD QUALITY WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR SAMPLE QUALITY COMPLAINTS.
