    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER (FSE) WAS ONSITE (B)(4) 2008 TO (B)(4) 2008 TO INVESTIGATE THE EVENT. THE FSE INDICATED THE CUSTOMER PERFORMED A PRECISION RUN ON A TNI AND CK-MB WITH ALL THREE LEVELS OF CONTROLS AND RESULTS WERE WITHIN SPECIFICATION. THE FSE CHECKED THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS WHICH INDICATED THAT ASPIRATE PROBE/DISPENSE PROBE MAINTENANCE HAD NOT BEEN DONE SINCE (B)(4) 2008. THE FSE CHECKED SYSTEM CHECK RESULTS AND THEY WERE WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. THE FSE PERFORMED HIGH SENSITIVITY SYSTEM CHECK WITH THE FOAM PORTION OF THE TEST FAILING. FURTHER INVESTIGATION BY THE FSE INDICATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT IS DUE FOR A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE (PM). THE PM WAS COMPLETED BY THE FSE. THE FSE ADJUSTED AND REPAIRED PIPETTOR 4 ULTRASONIC'S, REPLACED CLOGGED AIR FILTER AND REPAIRED A LEAK IN THE LEAK IN THE QUICK CONNECTING FITTING FOR PIPETTOR 1. THE FSE PERFORMED A SYSTEM CHECK AND HIGH SENSITIVITY SYSTEM CHECK AFTER THE PM AND BOTH TESTS PASSED WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. THE FSE VERIFIED REPAIRS PER ESTABLISHED PROCEDURES AND RESULTS MEET PUBLISHED PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS. ALTHOUGH THE FSE ADDRESSED HARDWARE ISSUES, A DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED FOR THIS EVENT.

THIS REPORTABLE EVENT WAS IDENTIFIED DURING A RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW OF COMPLAINTS CONDUCTED BETWEEN (B)(4) 2008 THRU (B)(4) 2010 FOR ADD'L REPORTABLE EVENTS.
