    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE CAUSE FOR THE IMPRECISE EMIT(R) PHNO RESULTS IS UNKNOWN. NOTE: THE ACCOUNT IS RUNNING THE EMIT(R) PHNO REAGENT ON AN INSTRUMENT SYSTEM (JOEL BIOMAJESTY-6050) FOR WHICH SIEMENS HEALTHCARE DIAGNOSTICS DOES NOT SUPPLY AN APPLICATION. HOWEVER, THE BIOMAJESTY INSTRUMENT IS SIMILAR TO (BUT NOT IDENTICAL WITH) THE SIEMENS ADVIA SYSTEM WHICH DOES HAVE A SIEMENS SUPPORTED APPLICATION FOR THE SYVA EMIT(R) PHNO REAGENT. SIMILAR IMPRECISION HAS BEEN NOTED FOR LOT E1 ON THE SIEMENS ADVIA SYSTEM. THE ISSUE WITH THE REAGENT IS UNDER ACTIVE INVESTIGATION AT SIEMENS. INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY THE CUSTOMER THAT OTHER EMIT(R) REAGENTS ARE PERFORMING WITHIN PRECISION EXPECTATIONS ON THE SAME INSTRUMENT INDICATE THAT THE INSTRUMENT IS LIKELY PERFORMING WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. THE EMIT(R) PHNO IMPRECISION ISSUE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION AT SIEMENS HEALTHCARE DIAGNOSTICS INC.
